Antique Green & Brown Splatter Vase
A charming antique vase hailing from the southern Italian region of Puglia. Dating back to the late 1800s, this hand thrown terracotta pot features a green and brown splatter effect on the surface. It is internally glazed, indicating that it was most likely used for storing food. The splatter glaze technique comes from the ancient tradition of ‘smammriato’ - where artisans, in order to conceal defects from enamelling, dripped additional colours on the surface using small branches, especially bunches of thyme or from olive trees as a brush. This unique technique means each piece is one of a kind, with the wonderful colour combination of pistachio green and ochre brown ‘drips’ set against the creamy base. The hand-thrown vase has a well-loved patina brought about authentically by the passing of time and daily use. It would be ideal for fresh or dried flowers, injecting some country charm into any home or space. Create an impactful display with the matching green splatter ceramics as seen in the images.
Found in Nardò
the town in the Salento known for its important examples of baroque architecture.
Dimensions: H28cm x W23cm x D23cm
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.
