Antique Calabria Pot
DETAILS
A Calabrian storage jar found in southern Italy.
This pottery was used daily for food preservation from the late 19th century to the early 20th century.
The bold green stroke is a very simple linear decoration that has naturally been added to tableware for everyday use.
This is one of the quiet expressions that is rooted in the life of this land, and can only be found in vessels that are created with the intention of being used, rather than simply for decoration.
LOCATION
Calabria / ItalyCalabria
Origin
Southern Italy, Calabria.
Located at the toe of the Italian peninsula, this region holds a long ceramic history dating back to ancient Greek colonial cities.
From the apotropaic mask ceramics of Seminara to the sgraffito technique of Squillace, each area has preserved its own distinctive methods and designs.
Unlike the refined white-glazed pottery of Puglia, Calabrian ceramics are characterized by their earthy power and an ornamental quality that borders on the devotional.
At ambiant, we introduce antique ceramics encountered in Calabria—pieces that carry the memory of the land.
