Olla de Calabria antigua
ambiantA food storage container from the late 19th to the early 20th century, believed to have been made in or around Calabria, Southern Italy.
It is thought to have been used in kitchens or pantries for storing pickled olives and vegetables, oils, or grains.
Despite its simple, undecorated appearance, its deep yellowish-brown glaze and the texture of the coarse clay give it a rustic and substantial presence characteristic of folk pottery from the Calabria region.

Calabria / ItalySouthern Italy, Calabria.
Located at the toe of the Italian peninsula, this region holds a long ceramic history dating back to ancient Greek colonial cities.
From the apotropaic mask ceramics of Seminara to the sgraffito technique of Squillace, each area has preserved its own distinctive methods and designs.
Unlike the refined white-glazed pottery of Puglia, Calabrian ceramics are characterized by their earthy power and an ornamental quality that borders on the devotional.
At ambiant, we introduce antique ceramics encountered in Calabria—pieces that carry the memory of the land.
