Southern Italian Mug

A small ceramic mug discovered in Southern Italy.

Though not ancient, I was drawn to the glaze and design, which, common in daily pottery from Puglia, features an overlapping yellow and green glaze, with the flowing glaze itself forming a scenic pattern.

Due to cracks, it slightly seeps liquid, making it not very suitable for practical use.

This is a small ceramic piece to quietly enjoy the flow of the glaze and the layering of colors on a shelf or table.
