Product description
Antique jugs in glazed ceramic, from Central Europe. They form a pair of folk pottery from the early 20th century.
Jugs like these were used to store and serve water, milk or wine in rural homes.
The larger one, with a slender body, has a ridged turned neck and a ribbon handle; the smaller one, with a cylindrical body, has a pouring lip and a mottled glaze with green and brown splashes.
The amber glaze shines with warm reflections, with darker tones where the glaze pooled during firing.
Grouped on a sideboard or a shelf, they work as vases for dried branches or flowers.
