DETAILS
A cylindrical terracotta object purchased in Puglia, southern Italy.
Because it is hollow, it was used as a building material for insulation in the 1800s, mainly in Puglia, southern Italy, instead of limestone or tuff.
Many of them are destroyed during renovation work, so there are not many left.
As an object that captures the architectural culture of the area

Origin
Southern Italy, Puglia.
This land, where Mediterranean light spreads across dry earth, has nurtured its own unique ceramic culture for centuries.
In particular, the town of Grottaglie, known as the "Town of Ceramics," has produced countless everyday vessels that combine practicality with rustic beauty.
Deeply connected to the local climate and way of life, these pieces radiate a quiet presence that grows with use, despite their lack of ostentation.
At ambiant, we introduce antique Puglia ceramics that have accompanied local life and accumulated time through our sourcing trips to the Puglia region.
