About the Item

This hand-thrown terracotta pignata pot with half glaze, originating from Cutrofiano-Lucugnano, Puglia, in the early to mid-1900s, exemplifies the essence of "ceramica rustica." Renowned for its spherical body and two sturdy handles, this pot was traditionally used throughout southern Italy for cooking legumes, making it a staple in many homes. The pot features a charming half glaze in a warm ochre hue, beautifully contrasting with the earthy raw terracotta. This half glaze was primarily a hygienic feature, allowing for easy cleaning after use, rather than being purely decorative. It represents a more economical glazing technique, as fully glazing the entire pot would have been more costly. The visible charcoal effect around the body and internally is a testament to its history and the cooking process it endured, adding character to this rustic piece.
