Vintage pitcher / jug in Talavera earthenware – "El Carmen" – Floral decor f

A very beautiful Mediterranean touch for your interior! This magnificent jug (or water pitcher) in glazed earthenware comes from the famous ceramic tradition of Talavera de la Reina in Spain. Signed at its base "El Carmen", it is a handcrafted piece entirely painted by hand, showcasing a historical know-how. Its rounded design is enhanced by a generous floral decoration in typical colours: a deep cobalt blue, a bright saffron yellow, and touches of olive green on a glossy white background. The relief work on the twisted cobalt blue handle adds a lot of character to the whole piece. ✨ How to adopt it in your home. Ideal on a summer table for serving water or wine, it will be just as splendid repurposed as a charming vase for fresh flowers or a bouquet of dried flowers (as shown in the photos!). It will find a prime spot in a chic country kitchen, on a vintage sideboard, or at the centre of a bohemian-style table. 🔍 Features & Condition.
