Wholesale 30 cm jar - Gubbio ceramics

Ceramic jar from Gubbio Hand-painted ceramic jar from Gubbio Dimensions height 30 cm width 17 cm The ceramics of Gubbio In Gubbio, archival documents show the work of master potters as far back as the 1300s. Medieval evidence shows an archaic maiolica with geometric or vegetal decorations in green and brown. But the fame of the city's ceramic tradition is linked to the great potter Giorgio Andreoli, known as Mastro Giorgio, who arrived in Gubbio in 1489 from Intra on Lake Maggiore. It was the art of applying lustre, of which Mastro Giorgio was the undisputed master, that made Gubbio ceramics famous: gold, silver, green and above all a beautiful ruby red of intense tone.
