Antique Yellow Glaze Yeast Pot with Lid

€180.00

A vibrantly glazed terracotta pot with lid and two side handles that originates from the southern Italian region of Calabria. Dating back to the early 1800s, this historic example would have been originally used for storing the all important mother yeast for a family. The hand thrown ceramic vessel has a beautifully iridescent sunshine yellow glaze which makes it particularly rare (as these pots were usually found in a green hue). It features that magical patina brought about from years of daily use and the passing of time. Today, this antique pot would make a wonderful decorative display piece or storage vessel, injecting some southern Italian farmhouse charm to any home or space.

Found in Martina Franca

the charming hilltop town of the valle d’Itria known for its baroque architecture.

Dimensions: H23cm x W20cm x D18cm

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.
