Antique Turquoise Glaze Confit Pot
An antique confit pot dating back to the late 1800s and originating from Calvello, a small town in Basilicata known for its age old ceramic craft. The handmade pot called a ‘salaturu’ in local dialect was originally used for preserving food in salt brine, such as olives, anchovies or sardines. The rare rustic vessel features two ridged crescent handles and a turquoise blue glaze around the rim that renders it particularly unique. This type of rural ceramic pottery was typically only partially glazed - internally and around the top edge for hygiene and economical purposes, as it was expensive to glaze the entire pot. The antique pot features that magic patina brought about authentically from years of daily use. Add some rustic farmhouse character to your home or space with this hand thrown vessel, ideal as a vase for fresh flowers or simply as a decorative display piece.
Found in Ostuni
the charming hilltop town of the valle d’Itria known as la città bianca (or ‘white city’).
Dimensions: H31.5cm x W22.5cm x D22.5cm
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.
