Alba Vintage Italian Ceramic Pitcher

This vintage Italian ceramic pitcher is a striking example of sgraffito pottery, likely dating to the 1960s. Rendered in warm cream, golden, and earthy brown tones, the surface is richly textured with incised patterns and hand-applied detailing that give the piece depth and visual rhythm. Tall and architectural in form, the pitcher features a sculptural handle and layered bands of geometric and scrolling motifs, creating a balanced composition that feels both decorative and functional. The tactile quality of the sgraffito technique adds an artisanal character, while the muted palette keeps the piece timeless and versatile. Beautiful as a vase for branches or florals, equally suited for serving water, or simply styled as a decorative object, this pitcher brings warmth, craftsmanship, and old-world Italian charm to any space. A unique and collectible piece that bridges utility and art with ease.
