About the Item
Three-Handle Calabrese Pots – Hand-Thrown Ceramic (Calabria, Late 1800s)
Introducing a remarkable piece of culinary history with these exquisite three-handle Calabrese pots, expertly hand-thrown from ceramic in Calabria during the late 1800s. Originally designed as domestic confit pots, these unique vessels were used for preserving foods in olive oil, a staple of southern Italian cuisine. The contents would have been conveniently scooped out with a ladle and covered with a linen cloth or wooden lid, showcasing the practical design that reflects the agricultural lifestyle of the time.
Characterized by their rustic charm, these pots feature a partial glaze, applied internally and around the top edge. This glazing was a practical choice, ensuring hygiene while remaining economical, as glazing the entire pot would have been an expensive endeavor. The earthy tones of the ceramic beautifully complement the pot’s utilitarian function, making it a perfect addition to any kitchen or collection.
Embrace the timeless elegance of these hand-thrown Calabrese pots, which not only serve as functional kitchenware but also as striking decorative pieces. Whether displayed on a shelf, used in culinary preparations, or showcased as a testament to Italian craftsmanship, these pots invite you to connect with the rich traditions of southern Italy. Bring home a piece of history that tells a story of preservation, flavor, and artistry!
