An antique jug from Sicily with a charming hand painted design. This unique piece dating back to the late 1800s was originally used for wine or water and would have taken pride of place in a family home. The hand crafted elegant form, pinched spout and stylised double handle, are characteristic of pottery from Caltagirone, a Sicilian town renowned for its age old ceramic craft and tradition. The hand painted sea blue floral design set against the pistachio green sponge effect and hint of yellow on the rim, is also typical of ceramics from the region. The hand thrown jug has that magical patina that can only be brought about authentically by years of daily use and the passing of time. Today, this antique vessel would make a lovely decorative display piece, and add some country charm to any table-setting.
Found in Lecce
the baroque jewel and capital of the Salento.
Dimensions: H15cm x W15cm x D13cm
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.
