An old piece of daily-use pottery, believed to have been made in the vicinity of Calvello, Basilicata, in Southern Italy during the 19th century.

The glaze, which has a grayish tint characteristic of the Basilicata inland region, is covered in a fine network of crazing.

The overall warped, undulating form of the vessel also conveys the laid-back charm unique to Southern Italian folk pottery.

Calvello is an old pottery town tucked into the mountains of Basilicata in Southern Italy. In this dry landscape and quiet inland climate, its vessels were made not for display, but for daily life. Grey-toned glazes, gently wavering outlines, and traces of time spent in use. Calvello pottery carries the rustic character of Southern Italian folk ceramics and the quiet beauty found only in everyday vessels.
