About the Item

This large terracotta pignata pot with half glaze, hand-thrown in Cutrofiano-Lucugnano, Puglia, dates from the late 1800s to early 1900s and exemplifies the essence of "ceramica rustica." Featuring a distinctive spherical body and three sturdy handles, this antique pot was traditionally used throughout southern Italy for cooking legumes, making it a staple in many households. The pot's half glaze in a warm ochre hue beautifully contrasts with the earthy, raw terracotta, adding to its rustic charm. This glazing technique served a practical purpose, providing a hygienic surface that could be easily wiped clean after use, rather than being purely decorative. Additionally, it was a more economical choice, as fully glazing the entire pot would have been more expensive. The charcoal effect visible around the body and inside the pot is a testament to its history, reflecting the cooking processes it endured.
