Campo Piano Orezza - Milk Jug

CHF 180.00

Traditional water jug, handmade in Campo Piano Orezza, 1960’s, Corsica.
Corsica earthenware
15 H x 16.5cm D

Since pre-roman times, Corsican women potters in villages have been using this natural red and black clay that had extremely high fire and water resistance. The waterproofing of the porous body (the pottery is not glazed) was accomplished by using sheep fat to plug the pores. Traditionally archaic and purely functional, it was used for creating cooking utensils, using only clay, water and sunlight for drying. The firing took place in bread ovens or in simple pits.
The pottery from Campo Piano in the hilly, overgrown Castagniccia region was highly popular with French tourists in the 1950s and 1960s who brought it back to mainland France as souvenirs. Once much appreciated for its rustic look, Corsican pottery fell into oblivion in the 1970s, when the last clay pit was closed and the workshops were left to decay.
