Antique Striped Pharmacy Vase

€195.00

A charmingly rustic antique vase historically used for pharmaceuticals and originates from the southern Italian region of Calabria. Dating back to the mid-1800s, this hand thrown ceramic vessel was used to store herbs and spices and ointments for medicinal purposes. It features hand painted thick stripes in mustard yellow and thin stripes in ochre brown set against a creamy white glaze. The wonderful patina is consistent with age and use and shows signs of wear, which gives the jar its immense character. This large ceramic vase has a wonderful form and today would be an ideal vessel for fresh flowers or to add some farmhouse charm to any home or space.

Found in Lecce

the baroque jewel and capital of the Salento.

Dimensions: H24cm x W16cm x D16cm

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. To utilise as vases, it is recommended to use a separate internal water vase or vials for live stems.
