Catino rinfrescatoio (cooling basin): a traditional medieval form, used to keep wine and drinks cool at the table.
Basin / rinfrescatoio with a flat base, truncated-conical body and wide rim.
This mezza maiolica basin / rinfrescatoio is entirely handmade in our workshop in Pitigliano, Tuscany. The decoration, inspired by medieval iconography, is executed in the traditional colours of copper green, manganese and antique blue, characteristic of Maiolica Arcaica.
The form and decoration 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.
