Terracotta and ceramics are among the main protagonists of an economy – the Puglian economy – that has made its mark through the centuries, both in daily life and in art, reaching us more flourishing and alive than ever. Once again, just as in other fields, man has been able to make the best of a raw material generously offered by Mother Earth, molding it now for pleasure, now for necessity. We refer to clay, which, along with Lecce stone, has marked the passage of time, leaving traces of itself and becoming a distinctive feature of a way of living – the Puglian way – characterized by practicality and beauty.
Thus, wonderful tableware, terracotta cookware, and plates with roosters are born, traditional utensils decorated with simplicity and style. These products are not only useful objects but also pieces of art. Terracotta pots and ceramic pots have always been used in Puglian cooking for their excellent cooking properties. Clay, with its ability to retain heat, is perfect for cooking traditional dishes that require long cooking times, such as soups and stews. The terracotta pignata, for example, is ideal for cooking legumes and meats, while the flat terracotta plate and the deep terracotta plate offer a rustic and elegant touch to the table.
But terracotta is not limited to the kitchen. Puglia is famous for its clay pots, terracotta bowls, and used terracotta vases that beautify homes and gardens. Among the most appreciated creations are the colorful ceramic balloons to hang, the handcrafted Puglian pumo, and the Salentinian housewife in terracotta. These objects, in addition to being beautiful, represent Puglian culture and traditions. Each piece is unique, made and decorated by hand by master artisans, such as the ceramic orcio with Puglian Trulli, a symbol of the region.
Join us in a world of inert material that has come to life and continues to come to life today under the skilled hands of man. Yes, because the Puglian ceramic and terracotta products offered by La Terra di Puglia are all handmade by master turners, decorated by expert decorators, and finally glazed by hand one by one. Try bringing home all the elegance of a Puglian ceramic product. It will be a timeless product, elegant and sincere, ready to keep you company for many years.
In addition to aesthetic beauty, terracotta products offer numerous practical advantages. Small terracotta bowls are perfect for serving appetizers and side dishes, while the terracotta glass keeps beverages cool. Orci and pignate are ideal for storing oil and other foods, thanks to the natural properties of clay that protect them from temperature changes. Terracotta is an ecological and sustainable material, respectful of the environment and contributing to reducing plastic use.
Bringing a piece of Puglian terracotta into your home also means rediscovering the flavors and traditions of a land rich in history. Cook with a terracotta pot and you will feel the difference: the flavors will be more intense and authentic, just like they used to be. Using a terracotta plate to serve your dishes will make every meal a unique experience, a sensory journey into Puglian culture.
In conclusion, terracotta and Puglian ceramics represent not only an artisanal excellence but also a way to get closer to the roots of a land full of traditions and beauties. Choosing a terracotta product means choosing quality, elegance, and sustainability. Don’t miss the opportunity to bring a piece of Puglia into your home and discover the timeless charm of a material that has withstood the passage of time, retaining all its beauty and functionality.
