prodotto artigianale - Jug (2) - Ceramic - Bummolo, the rogue

The rogue bummolo (meaning “mischievous urn”) traces its origins to the Arab domination of Sicily and, over time, has become a symbol of the island’s rural culture. It was used to preserve and keep beverages such as water, wine, or oil cool, especially during the hot summer months. Its name derives from its particular construction, which allows filling it from the bottom and pouring from the spout without spilling a drop. We present two: the small one (20 x 10 x h 16 cm, weight 700 g) has the same expression as a mischievous urn; the large one (20 x 13 x h 27 cm, weight 1,100 g) is decorated with lemons and leaves for a refreshing summer lemonade. Mid-century Italy, Sicily, excellent condition. In the last photo, which is not among those for sale, you can see how it is made internally.
