Antique Green Glazed Amphora

€190.00
Sold

An antique hand-thrown amphora with beautifully formed shape and green glazed handles extending from the spout. Dating back to the early 1900s, it was originally used for wine (or water) - to keep it fresh for farmers working the land on those long, hot summer days. This original piece has an organic, raw surface texture with a deep green glaze at the handles and opening - which was intended for hygiene purposes to wipe clean, rather than simply decorative. This utility drinking vessel features a unique patina brought about authentically from the passing of time and daily use. Today, it would make a distinctive display piece adding some country 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: H27cm x W19cm 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.
