Everyday ceramics produced in private kilns in Grottaglie and the surrounding area in Puglia from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century.

The blue petals around the rim are sponge-printed, and the small flower pattern itself is a versatile motif that was widely used in folk kilns throughout Puglia from the late 19th century to the first half of the 20th century.

In the kilns around Grottaglie, a decoration of double manganese rings and small blue flowers on a white background was established as a standard design for everyday tableware and was mass-produced. As a result, there are many of these pieces that remain, and today they have become a local visual memory that symbolizes "Grottaglie style."

Although the shape and layout of this blue petal pattern were semi-standardized for each workshop, they varied slightly depending on the period and kiln. Furthermore, the sponge printing technique itself changes the impression depending on the pressure, angle, and how the pigment is applied, so each piece, even within the same workshop, is unique.
