Medium Antique Turquoise Splatter Glaze Passata Bowl
Passata Bowls, also known as 'limmi,' originate from southern Italy and they take the form of rustic handmade clay or terracotta bowls. This hand thrown terracotta example from the early 1900s hails from the southern Italian region of Calabria, and was used to make tomato passata or to wash fruit and vegetables. This passata bowl features a deep green glaze against the white base, creating a spotted effect. This mesmerising splatter glaze was originally added to keep insects and flies away from the passata or food. The surface application of the southern Italian limmi was spontaneously created by hand, meaning each is a unique piece with its own characterful pattern. The large bowl has aged beautifully with its own particular patina, and the external terracotta unglazed and on display. The antique vessel is the perfect piece to add some farmhouse charm to a table setting or garden/outdoor space. Create impact with the matching green splattered 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: H18cm x W41cm x D41cm
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.
