Antique Calvello Plate 1800s
DETAILS
An old piece of everyday pottery, believed to have been made around Calvello in the Basilicata region of Southern Italy, from the late 19th century.
Unlike the bright and soft white glaze of Grottaglie, this piece is characterized by a white glaze with a slightly grayish tint.
The crackle pattern running across the glazed surface has a somewhat dry aesthetic, evoking the quiet strength typical of folk pottery from the inland areas of Basilicata.
