Pintada jug
The artefact
Personal reinterpretation of the decorated jug (brocca pintada), typical of the pottery production of Oristano, commonly known as brocca della sposa. Lathe-crafted and richly hand-decorated with doves, flowers and angels, to bring good luck, it is available in white only, in an attempt to bring the traditional object closer to a more contemporary taste.
