A striking vintage mid-century Italian ceramic bowl with a wonderfully vibrant mustard-yellow glaze. Hand thrown and beautifully rustic in form, this large bowl features a distinctive drip glaze that shifts naturally from sunny mustard yellow to rich deep ochre.
The variation in colour and glaze creates a wonderfully tactile surface, with each area revealing a slightly different depth of tone. Its simple rounded form and bold mustard palette give the piece a strong mid-century character while retaining the warmth and imperfection of handmade Italian pottery.
A versatile decorative piece, it works beautifully as a generous fruit bowl in the kitchen, a planter, or simply as a sculptural object displayed on a table, shelf or console. The warm yellow glaze brings an immediate injection of colour to both indoor and outdoor spaces.
Found in Lecce, the Baroque capital of Salento, this one-of-a-kind vintage ceramic is a lovely example of the rustic handmade pottery discovered by Rivesto in Southern Italy.
