Vintage Splatter Glaze Pot with Handles
A charming vintage pot hailing from the southern Italian region of Puglia. This mid-century hand-thrown pot features an ochre brown splatter effect on the surface as well as two small handles. Internally glazed, pots with this design were usually used for storing the family’s mother yeast. The splatter glaze technique comes from the ancient tradition of ‘smammriato’ - where artisans, in order to conceal defects from enamelling, dripped additional colours on the surface using small branches, especially bunches of thyme or from olive trees as a brush. This unique technique means each piece is one of a kind, with the wonderful colour combination of the reddish brown set against the buttermilk cream base. The small pot can be used a storage vessel or simple decorative. Create an impactful display with the other hand painted ceramic pieces as seen in the images.
Found in Ostuni
the charming hilltop town of the valle d’Itria known as the la città bianca (or ‘white city’).
Dimensions: H12cm x W15.5cm x D15.5cm
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.
