Found in Ostuni and belonging to a noble family, the beautiful pitcher dates back to the early 1800s. Traditionally used for wine at mealtimes, the striking piece took pride of place in the family’s dining credenza. The jug features an 'inverted human nose' shape for its lip (or pinched spout) that is typical of pitchers from the southern Italian region, as well as a wonderfully intricate handle and decorative relief details encircling the piece. Called ‘robba bianca’ the antique jug represents the finest kind of ‘ceramica rustica’, and is produced with a pewter glaze and twice fired. Today, this truly wonderful piece would be ideal as a decorative accent that would work effortlessly in any home or space, especially when pared with the smaller jugs as seen in the images. See less
