19th Century Italian tree of life-preserving pots.
The abstract tree of life decoration signifies good fortune and longevity to the largely rural folk of that time with hopes of a bountiful harvest.
Originally used for preserving foods such as anchovies, sardines, figs, or olives. It was often topped with linen cloth tied with rope around the indents, to keep insects out.
