This is a wonderful book about pottery styles and uses. I am most interested in all the different pots and kitchen utensils that were and are made and used in France and Italy. Everything from dishpans, to milk separators, to frying pans, coffee pots. The best thing is that each kind has typical shapes such as lips and handles designed for specific reasons.
I did find some pottery of this kind in Italy, both high end and hardware store type. The only direct experience I had was the bowls they serve the ribboleta in, and I am told they actually make the soup in these basins.
See Dun in the Kitchen, under Sponza Frise for talk about a special type of pottery used today.
