Passata Bowls, also known as 'limmi,' originate from Puglia and they take the form of rustic handmade terracotta bowls. This early 20th-century homespun terracotta bowl, originally created to make tomato passata, is made of rustic earthenware on the exterior and a charming, glazed interior of spotted vivid pesto-hued green over a deep ochre-coloured base which has aged beautifully.
Since they were made by hand, each is a unique piece with its own characterful pattern. The existing nicks give it its antique charm and provide interest for display making it all the more collectible.
