Antique Puglia Confit Pot

ambiant

A food storage container believed to have been made in or around the Puglia region of southern Italy from the late 19th to the early 20th century.

The contrast between the glaze surface, layered with shades of white glaze, fine crazing, and bubble marks, and the deep brownish-stain glaze at the bottom is striking.

Due to its size, it would also work well as a pot cover.

Location

Puglia / Italy
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.
