Mayim Jug
A combination of cultural influences, the Mayim (Hebrew for ‘water’) Jug’s roots extend to simpler clay jugs found in Jerusalem to Grecian Hydria forms, the former dictating the shape and function and the latter impacting the patination and finish. While centuries separate each, their functional elements persist, most notably the small lobed handles and narrower mouth for keeping liquids within.
Height: 7.5”
Diameter: 8”
The timber this vessel is crafted from is ethically sourced and selected from Spokane, WA. Turned and carved from Big Leaf Maple wood and treated with a combination of iodine pigmentation, iron acetate, and fire before being finished with Tried & True varnish oil. Stitched with waxed cotton thread.
