Item History & Price

Information:
Reference Number: Avaluer:30486624Material: Terra Cotta
Object Type: Olive Oil BottleOriginal/Reproduction: Vintage Original
Color: Multi-Color
Original Description:
Offered for your consideration is a rare “conscience”olive oil or water bottle with 4 rope rings—2 on each side. Bottles likethis were used for carrying water or olive oil and were strapped onto a donkey with a ropethrough the handles. This example is most likely a 20th Centuryreproduction of an 18th or 19th century piece. It isbeautifully done in a rustic style with a bird motif. There are two different birds, one on each side of the bottle. It is marked on the bottom ...with an under glaze number 567 and a painted triangle and anirregular shape with lines through them. I have not been able toidentify the maker but suspect that it was purchased in either Italy or Francein the 1950s or 60s. This is a sturdy and heavy piece and weighs approximately 5 lbs. or 2.25 kilos.The “conscience” bottle was so named because the Catholic Church had to resort topublic charity to illuminate places of worship. They asked each household tocontribute a little oil - people gave "in conscience" and the namestuck.Condition:  Excellent condition with no cracks, chips or other damage. It is a rustic handmade piece, though, so you can expect a few small defects in the glaze. Dimensions:Overall approx. 11 ¾'' high x 8 ½'' diameterOverall approx. 30cm high x 20 cm diameterShipping:  This is a fairly heavy item, and I have tried to give you a break on the shipping. The $25 flat rate is for FedEX Home Delivery or USPS Priority Mail, depending on the destination. It includes my eBay discount. The flat rate is available for addresses in the continental U.S. only.  Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico pay an additional $7.00 and the item will be shipped via USPS Priority Mail. International shipping is available at extra cost through the eBay Global Shipping program. This item has been carefully wrapped and double boxed to avoid damage in shipping.
