Antique Green Rim Pot with Handles
An antique confit pot dating back to the late 1800s and originating from Calvello, a small town in Basilicata known for its age old ceramic craft. The handmade pot called a ‘salaturu’ in local dialect was originally used for preserving food in salt brine, such as olives, anchovies or sardines. The rare rustic vessel features two ridged crescent handles and a green glaze around the rim that renders it particularly unique. This type of rural ceramic pottery was typically only partially glazed - internally and around the top edge for hygiene and economical purposes, as it was expensive to glaze the entire pot. The antique pot features that magic patina brought about authentically from years of daily use. Add some rustic farmhouse character to your home or space with this hand thrown vessel and the matching pots as seen in the images. Today, it would make an ideal vase for fresh flowers or as a decorative piece - adding some rustic charm to any home or space.
Found in Ostuni
the charming hilltop town of the valle d’Itria known as la città bianca (or ‘white city’).
Dimensions: H25cm x W22cm x D22cm
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.
