About the Item

Two-Handle Calabrese Pot – Hand-Thrown Ceramic (Calabria, Late 1800s) Brown with Glaze Presenting a charming two-handle Calabrese pot, expertly hand-thrown from ceramic in Calabria during the late 1800s. This farmhouse pot was originally designed for collecting water, showcasing its practical roots in the rural traditions of southern Italy. The outer surface of the pot is raw, featuring a natural, earthy texture that speaks to its artisanal craftsmanship. The ochre glaze around the lip and on the interior not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also serves a functional purpose, helping to keep the contents cool and fresh. This economical glazing technique, which avoids fully glazing the pot, reflects the resourcefulness of the era. What truly sets this pot apart is the unique splash of reddish ochre glaze that adorns the body, adding a striking visual element that captures the eye. This detail enhances the rustic charm of the piece, making it a standout addition to any collection or decor. Whether used as a functional item for storing water, a decorative statement piece in your home, or a conversation starter in your kitchen, this two-handle Calabrese pot invites you to appreciate the beauty of traditional Italian craftsmanship and the stories it carries. Bring a piece of history into your space and let its charm inspire your everyday life!
