19th century - 20th century Puglia Grottaglie food storage jar AN-24166

A small food storage jar from Grottaglie in Puglia, southern Italy.

The top was tied with cloth and string.

There are many vases of this type in Puglia, but I chose this one in particular because of the interesting way the glaze has decayed.
