Long before refrigeration, the people of Crete stored their most precious commodities — olive oil, wine, honey — in vessels like the Eva. This classic Greek oil jar form has endured for millennia, and it's easy to see why: the wide belly retains cool temperatures, the sturdy handles make it practical, and the warm terracotta clay breathes in a way no modern material can replicate.
Each Eva Oil Jar is wheel-thrown by potters in Greece and fired in kilns fuelled by olive pits — giving the clay its distinctive warm, earthy tone. The result is a vessel that feels genuinely ancient, yet looks completely at home in a contemporary garden, courtyard, or terrace. With its decorative handles and generous proportions, it commands attention whether standing alone or grouped with other pieces.
The Eva also converts beautifully into a water feature — water cascading from the top and spilling over its curves creates a tranquil, sculptural focal point for any outdoor space.
