A large antique pot with a vivacious mustard yellow glaze typical of ceramics from the southern Italian region of Puglia. This vasetto or ‘capuana’ as it is called in local dialect, was made in the early 1900s and was originally used for transporting water, wine and other liquids. Similar to the local amphora (used to hold wine) its shape differentiates slightly and it does not feature a ‘tap’ at the bottom to empty its contents. The charming pot with its elegant form, has a distinctive yellow half glaze that gives way to the raw clay at the bottom, as well as two handles for easy maneuvering. This type of domestic pottery was typically only partially glazed (at the rim or top half) for hygiene purposes, as it was expensive to glaze the entire vessel. The hand thrown pot features that magical patina brought about authentically by the passing of time and years of daily use. Today, the antique vessel would be ideal as a vase for fresh or dried flowers, or as a decorative piece adding some Mediterranean charm to any space, indoors or out. Create an impactful display with the other yellow-hued farmhouse ceramics as seen in the images.
Found in Lecce
the baroque jewel and capital of the Salento.
Dimensions: H54cm x W31cm x D31cm
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. To utilise as vases, it is recommended to use a separate internal water vase or vials for live stems.
