Ceramic jug originating from Puglia, southern Italy, dating from the mid-19th century.

Hand-shaped with two symmetrical handles and a rounded body that narrows toward the base, this piece features a yellowish glaze highlighted by green brushstrokes applied with a free and expressive gesture. The contrast between the warm tone of the background and the vibrancy of the green brings a sense of movement and freshness that lightens its traditional form.

Time has left subtle marks and variations in color across the surface, signs of its use and the artisanal firing methods characteristic of southern Italian workshops.

Today, this jug can be integrated into contemporary settings as a sculptural object, a vase, or a centerpiece on a table or shelf, bringing texture, history, and a rustic elegance that transcends its original function.
