Italy, 19th Century

$295+

Antique

Sylvie Favorite

Ceramic

A true Sicilian workhorse in clay form.These 19th-century preserving pots once held sardines and anchovies along the Mediterranean coast, their glazed interiors designed to keep brine and oil cool in the heat. Found in two variations-one tall, one stout-they now lend their coastal practicality to modern kitchens or garden shelves. Sylvie likes them for wooden spoons, dried herbs, or a few too many paintbrushes.

Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.

    Dear collector, this piece may have minor glaze chips, drips, and cracks, each a charming mark of its age. We have several of these pots, so there will be slight variation in color, tone and wear.
