Large Antique Calabrian Bowl 42cm dia
An impressively sized hand thrown serving bowl with a unique hand decorated design.
Featuring a free-spirited hand painted motif in vivid green that is common to the nearby region of Calabria (Italy’s toe). Dating back to the mid 1800s, the designs are typically very simple with green circular motifs and abstract patterns that decorated crockery used for everyday life.
The old clay pottery from Calabria, like those of Puglia, is thick and robust, and has a lovely handmade, rustic feel.
This bowl would have been primarily used for domestic use - as a vessel to wash fruit and vegetables, and also as a serving bowl during family mealtimes.
Approximate Size: H: 18 cm W: 42 cm D: 42 cm
