Large Antique Confit Jar with Lid
Antique handmade ceramic confit jar in a buttermilk-coloured glaze and completely intact lid. These cylindrical ceramics were used for storing food, in which vegetables were conserved in oil and vinegar, or anchovies and sardines in salt. The light pottery known as ‘robba bianca’ represents the finest kind of ‘ceramica rustica’, produced with a pewter glaze and twice fired, and is the most expensive of this rural ceramic. Today it would be ideal for storage or as a decorative display piece. Also available are 2 matching pots with lid to complete the set and add impact on a table or kitchen ledge, as seen in the images.
Found in Ostuni
the charming hilltop town of the valle d’Itria known as the città bianca (‘white city’).
Dimensions: H25cm x W17cm x D17cm
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.
