1970s Handmade Faenza Ceramic Sugar & Marmalade Pot Pair
A beautiful matching pair of handmade Faenza ceramic lidded table pots produced in Italy during the 1970s.
Finished in a classic rustic tri-tone glaze of chocolate brown, honey ochre and natural cream stoneware, these pieces exemplify the warm, earthy aesthetic associated with Italian artisan pottery of the period.
The set comprises a taller sugar pot and a wider companion pot traditionally used for serving marmalade or other breakfast preserves. While the precise original designation cannot be confirmed without manufacturer documentation, the forms closely correspond to those commonly found in 1970s Italian breakfast services.
Both retain their original matching ceramic lids, making them an increasingly desirable pair for collectors of Italian studio pottery or rustic mid-century kitchenware.
