Antique Puglia Plant Pot

ambiant

A plant pot from the early 20th century found in Puglia, southern Italy.

It was originally a jar for storing dried goods and food, but was later repurposed as a plant pot.

The distinctive spotted pattern is a traditional technique found in southern Italy (Puglia and Sicily) and southern Spain, in which herb leaves are bundled together, dipped into the glaze, and slammed onto the vessel to create the pattern.
