Malandrina Pitcher

This poetic and colorful pitcher is fashioned of ceramic and takes the shape of a traditional Sicilian wicker wine bottle called "bummolo malandrino" ("crazy vase" in English). The pitcher's sinuous silhouette of a woman is defined by a light, pale blue summer dress and flowing red hair which is shaped to function as the handle of the pitcher. The peculiarity of this artifact is that it can be filled with chilled beverages, water, or wine from the bottom rather than the top. This unique piece of functional decor will enliven a modern decor with its exquisite craftsmanship and delicate allure.
