The "Pumo" is a deeply rooted artifact originating from southern Italy, specifically Apulia, where it can be spotted adorning the balconies of homes. A handmade ceramic "Pumo" is the result of an ancient manual tradition and conveys a precious message: it represents a rose bud on the verge of blooming, surrounded by three acanthus leaves that symbolize spring, rebirth, life, and renewal. In addition to serving as an amulet for luck, abundance, prosperity, fertility, and good news, it is also a decorative artifact that captivates with its rounded shape and vibrant glazing. The "Pumo" adapts to celebrate all occasions where one wishes to extend a good start. Research reveals that the term originates from the Latin "pomum," meaning "fruit," and is linked to the cult of the Roman goddess Pomona, who was revered as the protector of fruits. In some Apulian dialects, the "Pumo" is referred to as "Pumo dè Fiure" (flower bud), and it has been featured in many coat-of-arms of the Apulian upper-class families. It is also believed to ward off evil, which is why you can see the "Pumos" at the entrance of traditional homes or on the facades of mansions.
