The Vase (PITHARI)
"Koroni is well known among the Mediterranean countries for its characteristic jars. The so-called “Koroneiko pithari” or “Tzara”".
In fact Koroni was the trading center of those jars, while their production was held in three villages on the outskirts.
The special clay used and the technique followed, made this pot really strong, and hard to break. Also, it was humidity and heat resistant, ideal for all kind of agricultural products held in it.
In Kiari, we pay tribute to this historical jar and its important role in the Mediterranean diet, by reproducing a miniature of it.
