A 19th century Italian glazed preserving pot that belongs in a kitchen that takes its objects seriously — on a shelf between the olive oil and the vinegar, or on a counter where it becomes the thing everything else arranges itself around.
Warm beige glaze with natural tonal variation across the surface — the colour moves as the light does. Ø 20 cm wide, 26 cm high, 5-litre capacity, 3 kg. The upper rim carries some age-related chipping, honest and minor. The structure is sound throughout, no cracks.
Pots of this form were the working vessels of the Italian household kitchen from the medieval period through the early twentieth century — used for preserving tomatoes, olives, pickled vegetables, and cured meats through the winter. Made in regional workshops across southern and central Italy, thrown on the wheel, glazed by hand, and fired once. Not made for the table. Made for the larder, the cellar, the shelf above the stove. The fact that they survive in this condition is a consequence of how well they were built — not how carefully they were stored.
