This large antique hand thrown amphora with its sculptural form, impressive scale and beautiful hand painted floral design, is a particularly rare example of vessels used for holding wine. Dating back to the late 1800s, it most likely originates from Faenza - a major centre for pottery since the Middle Ages. The ceramic amphora features hand painted flower motifs in ink blue on all sides as well as unique twisted handles, highlighting the skill of the artisan potter. The striking amphora has that magic patina brought about authentically from years of daily use and the passing of time. The one-of-a-kind vessel would make a beautiful display piece adding some farmhouse charm to any home or space, especially when pared with the blue and white jug as seen in the images.
Found in Martina Franca
the charming hilltop town of the valle d’Itria known for its baroque architecture.
Dimensions: H27cm x W23cm x D20cm
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.
