Some objects are made to be discovered, and the bummulo is one of them. A quintessentially Mediterranean utensil, it is a carafe for water or wine in a form all its own, one that belongs to Sicily. It brings a cheerful, joyful atmosphere to the table and surprises everyone when the drinks are poured. Every use has a little wonder in it, which is exactly why it is remembered.

This one wears the Paladini decoration, a touch of the epic that gathers the duels and romances sung by Ariosto into a single object. Armoured knights ride across its surface on horseback, painted by hand in rich, abundant colour, with no single shade taking over. It is a fragment of Sicily that turns the bummulo into legend, imbued with the vibrant, courageous spirit of the paladins of yesteryear. The same heroes have long lived on the island’s stages, in the Sicilian puppet theatre, the Opera dei Pupi.

Crafted entirely by hand and finished in a luminous, high-fire glossy glaze, it is ideal for water and excellent for wine. Choose the 0.5 L for a table for two, or the 1.0 L to share with the whole company. As every piece is made by hand, each one is unique and may differ slightly from the one shown.

In your home

Let it take its place at the centre of the table, filled with chilled water or a favourite red, and watch it become the story your guests remember. When it is not in use, it is a colourful, expressive accent on a sideboard or a shelf, and it suits every interior, from calm minimalism to richly layered rooms.

A gift as unique as its recipient

For anyone who loves art, design, good food and luxury, this bummulo is a gift of rare character. It is food safe and made to be used, which makes it perfect for hosts, wine lovers and all who adore Italy and Sicily, whether for a housewarming, a wedding or a special celebration. Because each piece is made by hand, the one you give will be truly theirs alone.
