Dadasi Stoneware Jug — Olive Green Glaze | 50 oz | Gharyan

A handmade stoneware jug in a deep olive green glaze — the body a tall, sculptural form that widens from a narrow base into a full, rounded shoulder before tapering back into a straight neck with a sharp, precise pouring spout. A small loop handle is attached at the shoulder, the handle proportioned to the tall form of the jug — functional for pouring, considered in its scale. The glaze is a rich, deep olive green — the color of pressed olive leaves or aged bronze — applied in a high-gloss finish that catches light across the curved surface of the body, the reflections shifting as the jug is moved.

The form is ethnic-contemporary — the proportions and the silhouette referencing the traditional North African water jug, the glaze and the finish bringing the form into a contemporary interior context. As shown in the product images, the jug reads as a sculptural object on a counter or a table — the tall form and the deep olive glaze making it a visual focal point whether filled or empty.

Gharyan Stoneware — Handmade by Ceramists

Gharyan Stoneware is a ceramic brand rooted in the stoneware tradition of Gharyan — a mountain town in northwestern Libya known for centuries as one of the great ceramic centers of North Africa. The Dadasi jug is handmade by ceramists, one at a time — the forming, the glazing, and the firing all done by hand. Each jug is unique: a small fingerprint on the base, the imprint of the firing grid on the foot, a slight variation in the glaze tone — these are the marks of true craftsmanship, not defects.

The stoneware is completely free of toxic heavy metals — no cadmium, no lead — and is food safe for direct contact with water, wine, juice, and other liquids.

How It Improves Your Daily Life

The Dadasi jug is large enough to hold 50 oz / 150 cl — enough water for a full dinner table, enough wine for four glasses, enough lemonade for a summer afternoon. The tall form and the precise spout make it easy to pour cleanly without dripping. The dishwasher safe stoneware means the jug can be used daily without special care.

The deep olive green glaze works on any table — with white ceramics, natural wood, linen, and any warm or earthy interior palette. The jug is also beautiful as a flower vase — the tall narrow neck holding a single stem or a small bunch of flowers upright, the olive green glaze complementing any flower color.

How to Style It

• Dining table — as a water or wine jug at the center of the table; the olive green glaze as the color accent of the table setting
• Kitchen counter — filled with water or as a decorative object beside a cutting board and fresh herbs
• Flower vase — the tall narrow neck holding a single stem, dried grasses, or a small bunch of wildflowers
• Gift — a complete, considered housewarming or hosting gift; handmade, one at a time
• Pairs with: white and cream ceramics, natural wood, linen, terracotta, and any warm earthy or Mediterranean interior
