ODL30 – ODEMIS VESSEL

During my recent exploration of the Turkish countryside in the Izmir province, I was fascinated by the rustic Odemis pots. Initially designed to transport honey, olives, and dry goods such as grains and rice, this whitewashed container has aged beautifully over time, carrying a rich history within.  Each crack and imperfection in the aged clay whispers of a journey taken and of a life lived. These Odemis pots are more than just containers; they are vessels of history, vessels of tradition, vessels of a bygone era waiting to be cherished once again.
