Large Antique 'Cuccuma' Vase
Antique ceramic vase with handles with a delightfully rustic patina set against an ivory glaze and simple decorative hand painted jade green motif across the rim and body. This wonderfully unique vase or jug called ‘cuccume’ in the neighbouring region of Calabria, were originally used as pots for storing food. With its distinctive two symmetrical handles, floral-shape opening, and spherical body, it has an organic surface which has eroded beautifully over time. Today, this large rustic piece would be ideal as a vase for fresh flowers or as a truly unique decorative display item.
Found in Grottaglie
the small town in Puglia famous for its ceramic craft.
Dimensions: H32cm x W23cm x D23cm
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.
