Large Antique Bird Motif Vase
A large antique vase charmingly hand painted with two undulating handles and an elegant form. Called a ‘ciarla’ in local dialect and dating back to the 1800s, the large vase was primarily ornamental and taking pride of place on the mantle piece of the family home, often gifted to newly weds. It was regularly hand decorated with geometric motifs, as well as landscape scenes, animals and other figures. This large example features a traditional Pugliese geometric pattern as well as bird motif on both sides, hand painted in typical colours - pastel blue and mustard yellow. Today, this antique vessel can be used as vase for fresh flowers or an ideal display piece to add some country charm to any space. Create an impactful display when pared with the matching vase and plate as seen in the images.
