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.
