Pitcher - Ceramic - Caltagirone Processing

Antichissima Quartara (bottiglia, recipiente, contenitore) Siciliana in ceramica/maiolica di Caltagirone. Pezzo del 1800 con stupendi colori, condizioni eccellenti. Molto difficile da trovare in questo stato di conservazione. Un detto antico Siciliano, ancora usato. Significato che tutto quello che si fa di nascosto, o a tradimento, prima o poi si sa. La caratteristica di questo recipiente consiste nel fatto che, l’acqua trasudando evapora e mantiene fresca l’acqua all’interno. Questo recipiente in terracotta era presente nel passato nelle case dei contadini. Le sue dimensioni erano medie. Ai fianchi due grossi manici ne facilitavano il trasporto. Esteticamente richiama molto la giara e la si utilizzava per trasportare e conservare acqua o vino, in alcuni casi anche olio. Spedizione tracciata con corriere.

Pitcher - Ceramic - Caltagirone Processing

Very ancient Sicilian Quartara (bottle, container, receptacle) in Caltagirone ceramic/majolica.

1800s piece with stunning colors, excellent condition.
Very difficult to find in this state of preservation.

An old Sicilian saying, still used. Meaning that everything that is done secretly, or by treachery, sooner or later becomes known.

The characteristic of this container is that the water evaporates as it sweats and keeps the water inside fresh.

This terracotta container was present in the past in the houses of farmers. Its dimensions were medium. On the sides two large handles made it easier to transport.

Aesthetically it is very reminiscent of the jar and was used to transport and store water or wine, in some cases even oil.

Tracked shipping with courier.
