Il Pumo, a unique Apulian handicraft

Pumo is a typical decorative element of the Apulian handicraft, which you will surely notice during a vacation in Puglia. Looking upwards and observing the splendid baroque balconies of many small villages of the Italian heel, you will notice strange “eggs” embellished with leaves right there, in beautiful view.

Today the Apulian and Salentine decorators make and decorate these beautiful eggs still by hand, just like their fathers did. Sometimes the colors are fanciful and the motifs stylized, at other times the pumo takes on a splendid white color tending to iridescent.

It is a truly unique object of its kind, and you can travel around the world without finding anything like it! But where does this sinuously elegant and yet so singular form come from?

Symbols of Pumo

The shape of the pumo, let us consider it, is precisely that of a bud about to bloom. A closed bud, surrounded by tender leaves. In Puglia it is made of glazed ceramic in various colors: white is very common, but you will also find it in a splendid aquamarine, green, red, or even decorated in many different ways, mixing baroque motifs and bright colors together.

The bud is a symbol of rebirth and a good omen. And speaking of rebirth, if you notice the pumo will also be easily associated with an egg, symbol of Easter and the rebirth par excellence. An elegant sinuous decorative motif, perfect for your exteriors or for your interiors, splendid to exhibit on a sideboard or in a display case.

Gift idea, favor or souvenir?

Pumo is a wonderful gift idea for spouses who are about to start a life together or for a family that moves into a new home; or again, for a shopkeeper who is preparing to start a new business, for example.

All this because pumo - whether interpreted as an egg or as a bud - is exactly a symbol of good luck and a good omen for the future to come.
A wonderful idea for a wedding favor to offer to guests at a wedding, or a nice "souvenir" to take home after a trip to Puglia. A very elegant and always up-to-date furnishing object.
