DETAILS

A plant pot from the early 20th century found in Puglia, southern Italy.

It was originally a jar for storing dried goods and food, but was later repurposed as a plant pot.

The distinctive spotted pattern is a traditional technique found in southern Italy (Puglia and Sicily) and southern Spain, in which herb leaves are bundled together, dipped into the glaze, and slammed onto the vessel to create the pattern.

Puglia

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.
