Antique Pignate Pot
This classic example of 'ceramica rustica' hails from early 1900s southern Italy. It features a robust spherical body and two distinctive handles. Described as 'pignate', these simple terracotta cooking pots often used for legumes and lamb were typically undecorated. This particular piece stands out due to its large size and elegant form, a testament to the skill of its potter. Character is added by its well-loved, rustic patina. It would be an excellent choice for decorative display.
