A rare late-19th-century Italian ceramic amphora, hand thrown and hand painted with delicate ink-blue floral motifs. Most likely originating from Faenza, one of Italy's historic centres of ceramic production, this impressive vessel was traditionally used for holding wine.
Its sculptural form is enhanced by a pair of distinctive twisted handles and a beautifully aged surface, with an authentic patina developed through years of use and the passage of time. Each side features hand-painted floral decoration, showcasing the skill and individuality of the artisan potter.
Found in Martina Franca, in Puglia's Valle d'Itria, this one-of-a-kind antique Italian ceramic makes a striking decorative piece, bringing an understated farmhouse character and the charm of historic Italian pottery to a contemporary interior
