Vintage Blue Stripe Vase
A charming vintage vase with hand painted blue stripes that are set against an ivory glaze. This type of vase with its two kinked handles and elegant form was originally used for preserving foods such as anchovies, sardines, figs or olives in olive oil. Commonly known as ‘robba bianca’ in southern Italy, this type of ceramic represents the finest kind of ‘ceramica rustica’, produced with a pewter glaze and is twice fired. Today the farmhouse-style piece would make an ideal vase for fresh flowers or a decorative display piece.
Found in Lecce
the capital of the Salento famous for its baroque architecture.
Dimensions: H21cm x W17cm x D11cm
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.
