Barbotine ceramic grape jug, Italy, 1970s

Italian slipware ceramic pitcher, glazed blue grape cluster design, relief vine leaf forming the handle. Height 20 cm, width 17 cm. A few micro-chips on the spout, visible in the photos.

A characteristic piece of 1970s Italian ceramic craftsmanship, this slipware technique, which involves modeling the relief directly into the clay before firing, allowed Mediterranean workshops to produce everyday objects with remarkable expressiveness and precision. This pitcher is a prime example: the grape cluster is rendered with meticulous detail and a deep blue glaze that makes it as much a decorative object as a serving piece. It fits naturally into a colorful, Mediterranean, or maximalist interior, placed alone on a shelf or alongside other pieces from the same family.
