Old glazed ceramic jug – Central Europe, around 1930

This ancient popular ceramic jug is a green-glazed spouted jug with a side handle. It originates from Central Europe, from the first half of the 20th century, in popular glazed pottery. The popular glazed ceramics equipped the kitchen and pantry of the rural home, for serving and preserving. Its earthenware and glaze were suited for daily use. The piece is hand-turned in earthenware and covered with glaze, featuring the irregular craftsmanship typical of traditional pottery. It retains its shape and function. The green glaze covers the baluster body with a uniform sheen, while the earthenware is visible at the foot and rim. The surface shows wear consistent with use. Due to its shape and glaze, it can be used as a vase, table piece, or accent in a kitchen or on a shelf. It fits into rustic, country, and wabi-sabi interiors, where it adds colour and warmth.
