Description

Large Antique Mediterranean Urn | Ismenia

This fabulous Large Antique Mediterranean Urn | Ismenia is full of aged character.

This urn features ample texture and intrigue, Its really is one of a kind.

This urn would look beautiful and sculptural on its own and also with plants within.

Over a hundred years old, the surface of urns such as this one can be textured, pitted and flaky with loose paintwork. Traces of white residue sometimes remain where they have been previously painted. Originally used to store liquids, traces of olive oil are often evident inside the pots.

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.
