These 19th-century Koroniotiko olive jars come from the beautiful coastal town of Koroni in Greece, where generations of artisans handcrafted terracotta vessels for storing olive oil.
The olive tree has always held a special place in Greek culture. According to ancient mythology, it was a gift from the goddess Athena, symbolizing peace, wisdom, and prosperity.
We particularly love their sculptural shapes, beautiful ribbed surfaces, and natural patina developed over generations. Each jar is slightly different, reflecting the hand of the artisan who made it.
