This large antique serving bowl from Calabria dates back to the mid 1800s, and would have been primarily used for domestic use and more specifically to serve a family during meals. The rustic bowl features a hand painted abstract tree of life design in green set against a buttermilk-hue base. The old clay pottery from southern Italy is thick and robust, with that unmistakable handmade feel. This Calabrese bowl has that magical patina that only the passing of time and daily use can bring about authentically. Today, the hand thrown bowl would make a great table centrepiece or fruit bowl, injecting some southern Italian charm to your kitchen or dining space. Perfect when pared with the matching farmhouse bowls from southern Italy as seen in the images.
Found in Squillace
a hilltop town in Calabria known for its ancient ceramic craft.
Dimensions: H10cm x W37cm x D37cm
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.
