About the Item
The sicilian salt container has beeen hand-crafted in the small town of Patti, it is adorned with intricate hand-painted designs in earthy tones, predominantly green and brown, which are characteristic of traditional Sicilian pottery. The design add a rustic and authentic feel to the piece. The uneven and slightly textured finish suggests that it was handcrafted. The container has a bulbous body with a wide opening and a matching lid. The lid fits snugly on top and is similarly decorated. The container also features small, rounded handles on each side, which were functional, aiding in the lifting and carrying of the heavy salt.
The hand-painted designs reflect the regional styles and motifs of Sicily, making this piece not just a storage item but also a work of folk art.
This salt container is a beautiful example of 19th-century Sicilian ceramics, combining functionality with artistic expression. Its hand-painted designs and robust form make it both a practical and decorative object. It's in original condition with normal signs of use and age.
