A vintage hand-thrown amphora typical of the Puglia region of Italy, traditionally used to keep wine fresh for the farmers working the land. The large rustic vessel features a beautifully hand crafted spherical body and its twisted handles are a fluid extension of the spout, created for easy grip. The raw clay is contrasted by the sunflower yellow glaze on top - this was added for hygiene purposes, so it could be wiped clean after use, rather than simply decorative. This charming mid-century piece has a raw surface texture that highlights the passing of time and years of daily use. What makes this ceramic wine vessel a rare find is the matching amphora as seen in the images - the perfect pieces to add some southern Italian farmhouse charm to any space.
Found in Lecce
the baroque jewel and capital of the Salento.
Dimensions: H35cm x W28cm x D28cm
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.
