Antique Mediterranean Urn Martina

Description

Antique Mediterranean Urn Martina

This stunning Antique Mediterranean Urn Martina exudes an abundance of aged character. With its captivating texture and unique features, it is truly a one-of-a-kind piece. Whether displayed alone or adorned with plants, this urn serves as both a beautiful and sculptural centrepiece. Over a century old, the surface of this urn and others like it may showcase textured, pitted, or flaky paint with remnants of white residue from previous coats. These urns were originally used for storing liquids, and traces of olive oil can often be found inside.

In the garden, they must be protected from static freezing water/soil if planted. In the wintertime, if you leave them outdoors, simply turn upside down so that they cannot fill with water which will freeze (if you make a drainage hole to the bottom there is no need to do this).

If you establish a plant inside these pots simply use a plastic pot within which will allow for expansion and contraction of frozen soil and water. If you do fill the pot with soil we would recommend that you do not allow the pot and contents to freeze over winter. We recommend protecting from frost during the winter months if used in the garden.

Please expect a vintage imperfect condition. Each pot is handmade and features fabulous rustic earthy tones. Delightfully imperfect, these pots are soft, smooth and tactile to the touch. These distinctive ancient pots have imperfections aplenty, so please embrace their individuality and beauty and expect historic chips, cracks and repairs.
