Antique Large Handmade Folk Pot with One Handle, Hungary Early 20th century
Price range 50-500 EUR/USD
As a country with rich cultural heritage, handicrafts produced in Hungary also display a high level of diversity. Each cultural area (such as the Lowlands), even each production centre has its own speciality and uniqueness. This antique, large-sized folk pot is a beautiful example of the bucolic idyll of the countryside with a traditional canvas covering on the outside, and glazed on the inside.
This handmade pot possesses an elemental, organic power that comes from its rich historical origin, earthly palette and materials. Pottery made of earth and water elements becomes extraordinary because it has passed through various times, and carries a layer of each phase of its life. The shape and decorative elements of this piece are quite distinctive, with a handcrafted asymmetric shape, terracotta colours and subtle rings running around the neck. Earthenware is one of the most commonly used ceramics. Earthenware - such as this stunning piece - is porous pottery, usually fired at the lowest firing temperatures (900°-1200° Centigrade). Depending on the clay used, earthenware may turn a buff, red, brown, black or baked colour such as terracotta (which translates to baked Earth) when the product is fired. A substantial portion of Hungarian pottery products belong to the earthenware category, particularly those produced in the countryside. This pot showcases all these characteristics, with a patinated surface showing the different layers and colours. Its voluptuous appearance provides plenty of surface to showcase the unique qualities of the material, enhanced by the rings and thick “lips” towards its top. This vessel is a beautiful decorative object in its own right, but also unique as a vase perfect to showcase flowers.
Hungarian pottery products will surely enhance the home ambiance and support the aura of peace and relaxation. This earthenware jar can be enjoyed through its external appearance, and also through its rich cultural heritage.
