The Nyra antique clay pot is a vessel from 1950s Ukraine, a piece of primitive terracotta pottery shaped by hand and blackened in open fire. Its rounded body and single curved handle were made for everyday use. Over time, age has given it another role as a decorative old antique clay pot marked by use, wear, and history.
The matte black surface shows clear signs of time. The matte black surface shows signs of time, with darker fire marks, traces of soot, and areas where the clay’s natural colour is still visible. These details aren’t flaws, but part of what defines authentic vintage décor tactile, imperfect, and honest. Placed among neutral home accessories on a rustic wooden shelf or styled with dried grasses, Nyra brings depth and stillness to a space.
This is wabi-sabi home decor in its truest form. Subtle, earthy shaped by artistry rather than trends. No two pots are the same. Each antique pot carries its own surface marks and variations, formed through smoke, soil, and slow making. As a piece of antique earthenware, it reflects the beauty of natural ageing and imperfection, making it well-suited to wabi-sabi styling.
Nyra works easily within minimalist or modern neutral interiors. It sits comfortably on wooden shelves, mantels, or farmhouse tables as rustic decor, and pairs well with dried grasses, pampas, or sculptural branches for botanical display. For collectors, it’s a rare example of 1950s Ukrainian smoke-fired pottery, offering quiet heritage and character without excess.
