Antique Hand Warmer 1800s
DETAILS
A small antique ceramic piece found in southern Italy.
The antique dealer told me it was once used as a hand warmer, filled with hot water or warm wine during winter.
Yet its rustic form and the glaze applied only around the mouth also suggest it may have served as a portable small vessel.
In any case, it is a simply made folk ceramic, rooted in the everyday life of southern Italy.
LOCATION
Puglia / ItalyPuglia
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.
