Gift Ideas

The pumo is the ceramic bud that Puglia puts on balconies, at the foot of the bed and on gateposts: it stands for prosperity and good fortune. We have them made by hand in Grottaglie, along with the other traditional charms — jars, balloons, countrywomen, owls.

Pumi can be personalised with a logo: it is the corporate gift nobody throws away.

What the pumo means

It is a bud about to open, and so a symbol of rebirth and luck. In Apulian houses they go in pairs — one each side — on gateposts, on railings, at the head of the bed. They are given for a wedding, for a new house, for a beginning. It is not a souvenir invented for tourists: the pottery of Grottaglie has centuries of documented tradition, and the pumo is among its oldest objects.

How they are made

Clay shaped by hand, fired, glazed and painted one at a time. Colours shift from piece to piece, and two identical pumi do not come out even of the same firing. They come in sizes to stand and to hang, in a candle-holder version, and in colours from white to green, from red to gold.

The other charms

The ceramic owl, given in Puglia against the evil eye. The countrywoman and the king's head, figures of popular tradition. Decorated balloons to hang, jars — including the version with the trulli — and princesses for children's rooms.

For companies

A pumo makes a better corporate gift than a bottle: it stays in sight for years. We personalise it with the company logo, in small or large runs, and deliver it in its box.
