Large Vintage Terracotta Passata Bowl
Passata Bowls, also known as 'limmi,' originate from Puglia and they take the form of rustic handmade terracotta bowls. This large passata bowl dates back to the first half of the 1900s and features the makers mark at the bottom as seen in the images. It was originally used to make tomato passata or to wash fruit and vegetables. The vintage bowl features a charming, glazed interior of splattered pesto-hued green over a creamy base. This splatter effect was added to keep insects and flies away from the passata or food. This surface application of the Pugliese limmi was created by hand, meaning each is a unique piece with its own characterful pattern. The large bowl has aged beautifully, with the external terracotta unglazed and on display. The vintage vessel is perfect to add some farmhouse charm to a kitchen or tables setting, or as a unique storage vessel.
Found in Lecce
the baroque jewel and capital of the Salento.
Dimensions: H20cm x W45cm x D45cm
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.
