This unique ‘zuppiera’ dates back to the early 1800s and originates from Puglia. The antique bowl or cup with handles was used primarily as a vessel to hold liquids such as soup or milk. What makes this a rare find is the hand crafted fluted mouth and its wonderful deep green all-over glaze. The soup bowl features that magically rustic patina that only daily use and the passing of time can authentically bring about. Today, this handmade vessel is the perfect piece to add some southern Italian charm to any space, especially when pared with the matching pottery from southern Italy as seen in the images.
Found in Lecce
the baroque jewel and capital of the Salento.
Dimensions: H10cm x W21cm x D15.5cm
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.
