Antique Calvello Plate 1800s

ambiant

Ancienne céramique d’usage quotidien du XIXe siècle, probablement réalisée autour de Calvello, en Basilicate, au sud de l’Italie.

La glaçure grisâtre, marquée de fines craquelures, évoque les terres intérieures de la région.

La forme légèrement déformée et ondulante donne à cette assiette le caractère ample des céramiques populaires du sud de l’Italie.

Location

Calvello / Italy
Calvello is an old pottery town tucked into the mountains of Basilicata in Southern Italy. In this dry landscape and quiet inland climate, its vessels were made not for display, but for daily life. Grey-toned glazes, gently wavering outlines, and traces of time spent in use. Calvello pottery carries the rustic character of Southern Italian folk ceramics and the quiet beauty found only in everyday vessels.
