A storage jar found in Tuscany, Italy.

It is thought that they were used to store and transport liquids such as water, olive oil, and wine, as well as to store food such as anchovies and olives.

The rustic texture of the unglazed pottery and the pale white finish on top quietly speak of a practical beauty rooted in the local climate and lifestyle.
