그로타글리에 백유 오일 주기
ambiant남부 이탈리아에서 발견한 오래된 백유 주기입니다.
풀리아주 그로타글리에 인근에서 제작된 것으로 추정됩니다.
상아빛 유약과 부드럽게 둥근 소박한 형태는 이 지역의 백유 도기인 robba bianca를 떠올리게 합니다.
내부에는 기름과 비슷한 향이 희미하게 남아 있어, 과거 오일을 담아 따르던 용기로 사용되었음을 짐작하게 합니다.

Robba Bianca
"Robba bianca," meaning "white things" in Italian, is a significant category in the ceramic history of Grottaglie, Puglia, in Southern Italy. It symbolizes the technological maturity and refinement of lifestyle culture since the late 16th century.
Its foundation lies in a production system connected to the Majolica technique, which involves applying an opaque white glaze containing tin oxide (tin-glaze) and completing the piece through two firings. However, unlike the ornate Majolica known for its painted decorations, Robba Bianca suppresses decorativeness, positioning itself as a regional and practical evolution that finds value in the form of the vessel itself and the texture of the white glaze.
The beauty of this style lies in the contrast between the strong red earth (terra rossa) nurtured by the Puglia land and the soft white glaze that embraces it. The warmth of the clay faintly perceived beneath the glaze layer, or the reddish-brown clay body that peeks through the rim and foot after years of use, quietly tells the story of this land's unique expression of white.
