Antique Crinkle Edge Hand Painted Bowl
A very charming hand painted antique bowl typical of Pugliese ceramics. Dating back to the late 1800s, the large rustic bowl features the crinkle cut edge and blue floral motif that is symbolic of the Puglia region. The design is particular to Grottaglie, a town renowned for its age-old ceramic craft, where circles are combined to create rosettes or star formations. Since the 1800s the flowers were made with stencils, originally cut from sponges. The old stoneware from Puglia, is thick and robust, and has a lovely handmade, rustic feel. The well loved piece shows its characteristic signs of age with a wonderful patina, and was used for domestic use up until the mid 1900s, and specifically to serve a family during meal times. This piece would make a lovely addition to the kitchen, as decorative display or a centrepiece on a table for fruit, especially when teamed with the matching crinkle cut edge ceramic bowls as seen in the images.
Found in Ostuni
the charming hilltop town of the valle d’Itria known as ‘la città bianca’ (or white city).
Dimensions: H11cm x W29.5cm x D29.5cm
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.
