Lidded pottery from the early 19th century found in Puglia, southern Italy.
This vessel, characterized by its neat form with a high base and soft marble pattern, is thought to have been used to store spices, salt, or dried medicinal herbs.
Its shape and simple yet sophisticated design give it a sense of moderate dignity, which suggests that although it was an everyday item for private use, it may have also been used in monasteries and other places.
