Antique Hand Painted Blue Foliage Jug
A rare hand-thrown jug that dates back to the mid 1800s. The antique jug originates from Calvello, a town in Basilicata renowned for its ceramic craft and tradition. The charming jug used for wine or water at meal times, features the pinched spout common to pitchers from the southern Italian region. It also has a unique hand painted floral and foliage design in soft hues of blue and accents of ochre brown highlighting the skill of the artisan potter. The antique vessel features that magical patina brought about authentically by years of daily use and the passing of time. Today, it would be ideal as a vase for fresh flowers or as a decorative display piece especially when pared with the matching ceramics 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: H21cm x W16cm x D13cm
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.
