Antique Calvello Plate 1800s

ambiant

Ancienne poterie quotidienne du XIXe siècle, probablement issue de la région de Calvello, en Basilicate, dans le sud de l’Italie.

Contrairement aux glaçures claires de Grottaglie, celle-ci présente un blanc légèrement grisé.

Les craquelures sèches de la surface lui donnent une force calme, caractéristique des poteries populaires de l’intérieur de la Basilicate.

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.
