This hand crafted ceramic colander from Puglia is a very rare find that dates back to the late 1800s. The antique bowl-shaped kitchen utensil with holes and handles was used for everyday use, draining food such as pasta. The rustic vessel is particularly unique due to its deep green splatter glaze interior set against a buttermilk base. This surface application was spontaneously created by hand giving the colander its character and making it a one of a kind piece. The antique colander has a lovely handmade feel along with that magical patina brought about authentically by the passing of time and years of daily use. This remarkable piece of local history would make a lovely addition to any kitchen bench top or table setting adding some southern Italian farmhouse charm.
Found in Martina Franca
the hilltop town of the Valle d’Itria known for its baroque architecture.
Dimensions: H15cm x W38cm x D38cm
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.
