Vintage Iridescent Glaze 'Pignate' Pot
The handmade terracotta ‘pignate’ pot with its robust spherical body and two handles was typical of what was used in the whole of southern Italy for cooking legumes. More often than not these pots were made without any surface decoration, but this one is particular due to its iridescent forest green glaze adding a unique character to the vintage piece. Today this pot would be ideal as a decorative display piece or a small vase for fresh or dried flowers.
Found in Lecce
the Baroque jewel and capital of the Salento.
Dimensions: H16cm x W19cm x D19cm
