About the Item

We offer for sale a ceramic handcrafted in Italy by the Urbano Fontana factory, as attested by the signature engraved at the base, between the 60s and 70s. This vintage ceramic has an unusual shape that places it exactly halfway between a jug and a vase. Modeled in earthenware with a sculptural handle and spout, it features an engraved primitive style decoration. Glazed with the technique called "A Lustro", which creates a super glossy and iridescent patina, this ceramic is glazed with earthy thones, from very dark brown with purple reflections, to olive green. The item is intact and in good vintage condition, it shows minimal signs of use and time. Reach out with any additional questions.
