The Panata is a historic ceramic form whose name derives from the older boccale dating back to the 12th century, traditionally used to soak stale bread in water. Its characteristic shape features an ovoid body with a rounded opening, an almond-shaped pouring spout and a ribbon handle.
This Panata jug in mezza maiolica is entirely handmade in our workshop in Pitigliano, Tuscany. The decoration, inspired by medieval iconography, is executed in the traditional colours of copper green and manganese, characteristic of Maiolica Arcaica.
The forms and decorations draw on the medieval tradition, reinterpreted through careful craftsmanship that respects historical techniques. Each piece is created through a handmade process, resulting in a unique object with subtle variations in shape and colour that bear witness to its authenticity.
Designed both for everyday use and as a decorative object, this piece brings together functionality, historical character and timeless beauty.
