This antique planter is a characteristic example of plant pots from Grottaglie, a town in southern Puglia known for its age old ceramic craft. The large plant pot dating back to the late 1800s is unique due to its matt glaze in a sunshine yellow - more commonly plant pots in the region were glazed in a pistachio green hue. It features sgraffito banding around the top half, a distinctive crimped detailing around the opening, as well as a spot of green on one side - which most likely occurred from proximity to other green glazed pots during the firing process. The handmade planter is unglazed internally and has a hole at the bottom for drainage. It has that magical patina brought about authentically from years of daily use and the passing of time and exposure to the elements. The yellow glazed pot is a great size and would be ideal to add a splash of colour to any home or space, both indoors or outdoors. This charming pot would coordinate well with the other matching ceramics from southern Italy as seen in the images.
Found in Ostuni
the charming hilltop town of the valle d’Itria known as la città bianca (or ‘white city’).
Dimensions: H33cm x W32cm x D32cm
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..
