This antique Andalusian "orza", a traditional Spanish majolica pot, is a stunning example of the pottery crafted in Lucena, Córdoba, Spain, during the early 20th century. Known as an orza, this type of jar was traditionally used to store and preserve food such as olives, oil, or grains.

The pot features a straw-yellow glaze with hand-painted "Tree of Life" designs, inspired by olive tree branches, which were central to the agrarian lifestyle of Andalusia. These motifs celebrate the region’s deep connection to olive cultivation, a cornerstone of its culture and economy. The shapely double handles and decorative rim add to its rustic charm, making it a timeless piece of Spanish folk art. 

Lucena, a town in the Province of Córdoba, is celebrated for its artisanal pottery traditions. This orza is a testament to the rich cultural history of rural Andalusia and is perfect as a collectible, a centerpiece for rustic or Mediterranean-inspired decor, or a meaningful gift for antique enthusiasts.
