This antique blue-and-white faience jug is a spouted jug with cobalt foliate decoration on a white ground and a side handle. It originates from Central Europe, from the first half of the twentieth century, within the tradition of painted tin-glazed earthenware.
Folk glazed pottery equipped the kitchen and pantry of the rural home, to serve and to store. Its fired clay and its glaze answered to daily use.
The piece is hand-thrown in fired clay and covered with glaze, with the irregular making proper to traditional pottery. It keeps its form and its function.
The decoration, hand-painted in cobalt blue, covers the body with scrolls and foliate motifs on the white glaze. The glaze keeps its shine, with the wear proper to use.
For its form and its glaze, it serves as a vase, a table piece or an accent in a kitchen or on a shelf. It fits rustic, country and wabi-sabi interiors, where it brings colour and warmth.
