This one-of-a-kind hand painted bowl is typical of Pugliese domestic pottery. Dating back to the early 1900s, the charming ink blue floral design or ‘righe & stelle’ pattern around the edge is characteristic of the town of Grottaglie - known for its age old ceramic craft. What makes this piece a unique find is the abstract pattern at the centre of the bowl, representing the sea that bounds the southern Salento on both sides. The old clay pottery from Puglia, like this bowl, is thick and robust, and has a lovely handmade, rustic feel. The hand crafted ceramic bowl has a glossy buttermilk glaze, and a wonderful patina brought about authentically by the passing of time and daily use. The antique plate would make a lovely addition to the kitchen, as a decorative display or as a a great centrepiece on a table or bench top for fruit and vegetables.
Found in Ostuni
the charming hilltop town of the valle d’Itria known as la città bianca (or ‘white city’).
Dimensions: H6cm x W29.5cm x D29.5cm
These are handmade antique ceramics that are perfectly imperfect and some have been used for generations, so please expect some cracks, and chips, and discolouration. These individual characteristics are part of the charm and unique quality of each piece. Please note, colour may vary from screen to screen.
