XL Antique Hand Painted Calabrese Bowl
An impressively sized hand thrown serving bowl with a unique hand decorated design. The antique bowl features a free-spirited hand painted motif in vivid green that is common to the nearby region of Calabria (Italy’s toe). Dating back to the mid 1800s, the designs are typically very simple with green circular motifs and abstract patterns that decorated crockery used for everyday life. The old clay pottery from Calabria, like those of Puglia, are thick and robust, and have a lovely handmade, rustic feel. This bowl would have been primarily used for domestic use - as a vessel to wash fruit and vegetables, also as serving bowl during family mealtimes. Today the extra large farmhouse bowl would make a lovely decorative display item or a great centrepiece. Add some country charm with the matching bowls as seen in the images.
Found in Grottaglie
the town in southern Puglia famous for its age old ceramic craft dating back to the Middle Ages.
Dimensions: H15cm x W39cm x D39cm
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.
