Glazed Terracotta Amphora with Handles

Originating from Puglia, southern Italy, this mid-19th-century amphora presents a robust form with a slightly flared neck and two lateral handles connecting the shoulder to the rim. The exterior is coated in a glossy glaze in earthy tones, applied using a pouring technique that leaves visible, irregular streaks—an expressive hallmark of traditional craftsmanship in the region. The base remains unglazed, a practical decision that facilitated firing and daily use.

Today, it can be appreciated as a decorative object, adding character and authenticity to a variety of interior styles.
