Brocca della Sposa - Bride's jug

The artefact

The two precious examples of the Bride’s jug, the main element of the local ceramist tradition, both festive and dowry-related, richly decorated with ears of corn, roses and doves, evoke the precious ceremonial bread. Made entirely by hand as a unique piece and according to the inspiration of the moment, the bride’s jug is one of the most characteristic elements of Ignazia Tinti’s ceramic production.
