XL Antique Crinkle Edge Farmhouse Bowl
A charming antique bowl typical of Pugliese ceramics that dates back to the mid 1800s. Found as part of an estate of a noble family’s palazzo in Ostuni, the butter-milk glazed vessel features the crinkle cut edge that is symbolic of the Puglia region. This design is particular to Grottaglie, a town in southern Puglia renowned for its age-old ceramic craft and tradition. What makes the hand thrown ceramic piece extra special is its very large size, giving it an impressive importance as part of a table setting. The ivory pottery known as ‘robba bianca’ represents the finest kind of ‘ceramica rustica’, usually produced with a pewter glaze and twice fired, and is the most expensive of this rural ceramic. The well loved piece shows its characteristic signs of age with a wonderful patina, and was used for domestic use up until the mid 1900s. The large rustic bowl would make a lovely addition to the kitchen or table setting, adding some country charm, especially when teamed with the matching ceramic bowls as seen in the images.
Found in Ostuni
the charming hilltop town of the Valle d’Itria known as la città bianca (or ‘white city’).
Dimensions: H16cm x W41.5cm x D41.5cm
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.
