Passata Bowls, also known as 'limmi,' originate from Puglia and they take the form of rustic handmade clay or terracotta bowls. This hand thrown terracotta example from the early 1900s was originally used to make tomato passata or to wash fruit and vegetables. What sets this passata bowl apart from others, besides its extra large proportions, is the very unique pistachio green speckled glaze interior over a creamy-hued base, creating a spotted effect. The mesmerising splatter glaze was originally added to keep insects and flies away from the passata or food. This surface application of the Pugliese limmi was spontaneously created by hand, meaning each is a unique piece with its own characterful pattern. The extra large bowl has aged beautifully with its own particular patina, and the external clay unglazed and on display. The antique vessel is the perfect piece to add some farmhouse charm to a table setting or garden/outdoor space. Create impact with the matching green splatteredceramic bowl as seen in the images.
Found in Tricase
