Know before you buy
Because this piece is made from natural, porous terracotta, it is not watertight. While you can use it for dried botanicals, fresh flowers will cause the jug to gradually seep water, which may damage surfaces.
This is an authentic artifact dating back to the late 19th century. Each piece carries the genuine wear and character consistent with its age and origin in Hungary.
The opening of the jug measures 4 1/2 inches in diameter, providing ample space for a small to medium-sized arrangement of dried stems or grasses.
To preserve the integrity of the antique material, we recommend dusting it gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners, as the porous terracotta can absorb moisture and potentially stain.
Yes, the jug weighs 530g and has a sturdy urn shape, making it well-balanced for display on flat surfaces like bookshelves, mantels, or console tables.
