Large Antique 'Vasettu'
This antique confit pot dating back to the early 1900s was originally used for preserving foods such as anchovies, sardines, figs or olives in olive oil. Commonly associated with the Grottaglie region of Puglia, (known for its age old ceramic craft) it represents the finest and most expensive kind of this domestic, ‘ceramica rustica’ - with its ivory-coloured glaze known as ‘robba bianca’, it is produced with a pewter glaze and twice fired. What sets this piece apart is the brilliant green line at the base - most likely a mistake during the firing process, that gives it a charming individuality. This pot also comes with a matching, smaller pot (with green stripe) to complete the set as seen in the images, and would make an ideal vase, storage or as a decorative display piece.
Found in Grottaglie
the small Salento town famous for its age old ceramic craft.
Dimensions: H26.5cm x W29cm x D21cm
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.
