About the Item

This medium "green-glazed" küp was likely used for wine, water, goat's milk, or cheese by generations of families in the Levant. The phosphorescent green glaze, a traditional technique on pottery wheels in Konya and Isparta, is as functional as it is beautiful. The glaze provides a protective and hygienic layer, making these objects optimal vessels for storing food staples and preserving delicacies. The “green glaze” technique marks an epoch of ceramic innovation in Anatolian artistic history. One of the oldest urban centers of the world, Konya was the capital city of the Anatolian Seljuk Empire from 1060 until 1307. As the Anatolian Seljuks embellished their magnificent structures with colorful ceramic tiles, Konya became an esteemed global hub of ceramics (and remains so today). The pottery wheel transformed the production & design of the ceramics industry and the traditional glazing technique of Konya craftsmen began to be used on jars, jugs, and vases being produced at scale for the first time. Rumi, the great 13th century Sufi poet, is buried in Konya. *One-of-a-kind and marked by time, each of these pieces will show patina and natural imperfections. From oil stains to oxidation, we consider these alterations to be portals into a time long ago.
