Vintage Italian Studio Pottery Jug – Hand-Painted & Incised Floral Design, Multi-Matte Glaze, 1950s–70s | Mid-Century Modern | Worldwide Shipping

Product Description
£136.00
Maximum quantity available reached.

Description:

This is a beautifully executed piece of mid-century Italian studio pottery, likely dating from the 1950s to 1970s. Sculptural in form and bold in surface design, the jug features a stylized floral motif rendered in rich matte glazes — pinks, indigos, and neutrals layered over a warm, mottled ground.

Look closely and you’ll see this isn’t just painted — the decoration is incised into the clay, with delicate sgraffito lines and raised dot work adding depth and texture. The use of multiple glaze finishes, from soft matte to lightly crackled, shows real confidence and control in the making. Twin loop handles and a short, forward-thrusting spout complete the sculptural feel.

While unsigned, a partially visible number impressed on the base is consistent with Italian workshop markings from this era — particularly in regions like Deruta or studios influenced by Bitossi. The quality and composition place it firmly in that lineage of postwar European design: expressive, modern, and rooted in craftsmanship.
