Description

History and Craftsmanship

This charming pair depicts two characters from the Apulian ceramic tradition: a lady with a floral hairstyle holding a decorative flower and a gentleman with a hat and mustache. Crafted in the renowned ceramic district of Grottaglie (Taranto) by the Cretaglie workshop, these pieces showcase the excellence of Salento’s artistic craftsmanship. The three-dimensional clothing details, ruffled edges, and hand-painted geometric-floral patterns make these pieces unique and highly expressive.
