A charmingly rustic, hand painted pharmacy jar from the southern Italian region of Calabria. It was historically used for storing and preserving herbs, ointments, powders and liquids, in a characteristic design that is common to Calabrese pottery. Dating back to the late 1700s, this antique ceramic vase is decorated with splashes of vivid hand painted brush strokes - in pistachio green and mustard yellow - and framed by thin earthy ochre lines, set against a cream glaze base. The wonderful patina is consistent with age and use giving this distinctive vessel its immense character. This hand thrown piece could be utilised as a vase for fresh flowers or simply decorative, adding some farmhouse charm to any space.
Found in Tropea
the Calabrese seaside town known as the pearl of the Tyrrhenian.
Dimensions: H15.5cm x W11cm x D11cm
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. To utilise as vases, it is recommended to use a separate internal water vase or vials for live stems.
