Puglia - Vase - Earthenware

Large artisanal terracotta Pugliese Orioncio (?) with handles – extra-large vase.

Imposing terracotta ovoid/vessel from Pugliese production, Italy, handcrafted on the potter's wheel and characterized by a slender and elegant shape with two sturdy upper handles harmoniously integrated into the body. The line recalls the Italian rural tradition, with balanced proportions and a scenographic presence of great impact.

The surface presents a natural light patina, with delicate ivory, sand, and powdery gray shades, enriched by light reddish traces typical of fired terracotta. The marks of time, micro-porosity and evident turning lines tell of authentic traditional craftsmanship, giving the piece a lived, tactile charm, ideal for rustic, Provençal, country-chic or contemporary environments in contrast.

The profile is broad at the shoulder and tapers toward a solid, stable base. The handles, thick and well-shaped, provide visual balance and character. The slight imperfections and small chips present on the base, visible in the photos, do not compromise the structure but testify to originality and use over time.

Indicative dimensions: height about 40/45 cm, maximum diameter about 30 cm, base diameter about 15-16 cm. Weight 6.5 kg, thus very substantial and stable. Perfect as a large indoor decorative vase or sheltered outdoor vase, a grand umbrella stand, or a furniture element capable of enhancing entrances, living rooms, taverns, or commercial spaces.

A strong, large, and scenographic Pugliese piece, capable of transforming any environment with the authentic warmth of traditional terracotta.
