Antique Grottaglie Jug "Brocca" 1800s
ambiant€212.95
19世紀イタリア南部プーリア州グロッターリエ近郊で作られた、Broccaと呼ばれる伝統的なピッチャー。
家庭やオステリアで、ワインや水を注ぐために使われてきた実用の器です。
口縁を指でつまんだように成形した独特の造形は、この土地の典型的な意匠。
正面の文字は所有者あるいは注文主を示すものと思われます。
持ち手付近の小さな凹みは、成形の際に生じた欠けをそのまま施釉し焼成したものでしょう。
南イタリアらしいおおらかさゆえに生まれたこの器の個性も好ましく感じます。

Origin
The small town of Grottaglie in the Puglia region has long been known as the "Town of Ceramics."
While pottery centers across Italy moved toward ornate Majolica ware, this town continued to produce honest, everyday pottery rooted in daily life, without following trends.
Among these, the "Robba Bianca" vessels coated with white glaze and jars for storing grain and oil are iconic symbols of Grottaglie.
Within their simple, understated appearance lies the inevitable beauty born from function and the strength of the earth.
These forms, passed down through generations, blend seamlessly into modern spaces, supporting daily life with their quiet presence.
