This antique piece of pottery with its wonderful 3D floral motif handles and raised pedestal, is an exceptionally rare piece of local history. Dating back to the 1700s, this vessel was made for storing biscuits, taking pride of place in a family’s kitchen. Particularly unique due to its striking design, the abstract hand painted lines across the body, the scalloped design across the top edge and the extraordinary floral relief side handles, give the hand-thrown bowl an abundance of character and charm. The hues of blue, orange and ochre brown are set against the milky white base, and make a perfect colour combination. This historic example of domestic ceramics has that well loved patina from years of use in the kitchen. Today, this one of a kind vessel would make the perfect decorative centre piece on any kitchen table or bench top.

Found in Lecce

the baroque jewel and capital of the Salento.

Dimensions: H18cm x W24cm 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.
