Brocca della sposa

One of the most ancient creations of the Assemini ceramic tradition, the Brocca della Sposa (Bride's Pitcher) has been part of the wedding trousseau for centuries. The bride is traditionally given the pitcher on her wedding day: the flowers and pavoncelle (small peacocks) adorning it symbolise her beauty and purity. Also, the richer it is, the wealthier the bride's family is. Every piece is unique. This Brocca is handcrafted on the potter's wheel, then the hand shaped decorations are applied on it and finally it is glazed with oxides.
