A food storage jar made in southern Italy, around Puglia and Basilicata.

In the past, it was commonly used in household kitchens to store lard, salted olives, tomato sauce, and other products.

Although the pottery is made in a folk kiln and is practical, the decorations, which are applied using traditional techniques rooted in the area, give each piece the feel of a small painting.

With their simple appearance, these pieces are a perfect embodiment of Southern Italian folk art, encapsulating the artisanal skills and local food culture.
