1800s Large Italian Fig Pot

About the Item

Found in Southern Italy, this exquisite and unusual green pot made in the late 1800s was originally used to preserve dried figs. More commonly seen in a cream ceramic, this particular piece is an extraordinary green colour due to its copper and iron oxide glaze. This extravagant copper and iron oxide green was usually used for details on ceramics due to its extremely high cost. These green pots are very rare and difficult to find, we are lucky that our friends in Southern Italy salvaged several pieces for us. This piece is the largest piece we have had. It looks wonderful both in a country kitchen or on a terrace or in an outdoor loggia. Dimensions: H28cm x W18cm x D18cm
