Description

Pair of Terracotta & Hide Water Jars with Stands

Pair of handcrafted terracotta vessels wrapped in natural hide lashings, each resting on its own custom stand — one in woven reed, the other in a rustic wooden tripod. The jars feature a traditional, organic form with burnished surfaces in varied brown and charcoal tones, showing the distinctive effects of natural firing. Likely utilitarian water or storage jars, they now serve beautifully as sculptural accent pieces, highlighting artisanal craftsmanship and earthy texture.

A striking display duo for interiors with rustic, tribal, or natural design themes.

Condition

Good overall condition with visible scuffs, surface wear, and tonal variations consistent with age and hand construction. Minor marks and finish wear noted; structurally sound and stable on their respective stands.

Dimensions

  • Large Jar: 18" H x 12" Dia., Weight: 15 lbs 8 oz
  • Small Jar: 9 ¾" H x 8 ½" Dia., Weight: 2 lbs 10 oz
  • Includes both stands (wood and woven reed).
