DETAILS
A traditional pitcher called Brocca, made in Grottaglie, Puglia, southern Italy in the 19th century.
It is a practical vessel used in homes and osterias to serve wine and water.
The unique shape of the rim, which looks like it is pinched with fingers, is a typical design of this area.
The small dent near the handle is likely a chip that occurred during molding, which was then glazed and fired as is.
I also really like the unique character of this piece, which was born out of the open-mindedness that is so characteristic of Southern Italy.

Origin
The small town of Grottaglie in the Puglia region has long been known as the "Town of Ceramics."
While pottery centers across Italy moved toward ornate Majolica ware, this town continued to produce honest, everyday pottery rooted in daily life, without following trends.
Among these, the "Robba Bianca" vessels coated with white glaze and jars for storing grain and oil are iconic symbols of Grottaglie.
Within their simple, understated appearance lies the inevitable beauty born from function and the strength of the earth.
These forms, passed down through generations, blend seamlessly into modern spaces, supporting daily life with their quiet presence.
