Antique Grey Glaze Amphora
This elegantly spherical amphora with its cloud grey-coloured glaze and abstract hand painted motif is a rare find, originating from the southern Italian region of Basilicata. Traditionally used to hold wine or olive oil, the spontaneous artwork adorning the front and back in pistachio green and brown ochre, set against the soft grey base, gives it a thoroughly modern feel. The beautiful handmade shape and form, handles and spout, highlights the skill of the potter. This antique amphora has seen over 150 years of service to its family, and naturally shows some charming signs of age. This large historical example would make the perfect decorative centre piece in any home.
Found in Martina Franca
the elegant hilltop town of the valle d’Itria known for its baroque architecture.
Dimensions: H41cm x W32.5cm x D32.5cm
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.
