Milk or cream jug in Alsace stoneware from Betschdorf.

Charming and very authentic small milk pot (or table cream jug on a pedestal) made of salt-glazed stoneware, in the Alsatian tradition, crafted in the heart of the 1970s by the master potters of Betschdorf (Bas-Rhin, France). The original base features clear handwritten engravings incised into the clay: the mold archive shape number "225, " the commercial height of the piece "10" centimeters, as well as the official workshop hallmark (or heraldic monogram) in the form of a stylized "G." This workshop mastery mark guarantees its historical authenticity and traditional Rhenish manufacturing. The bulging belly showcases a delicate floral decoration entirely hand-painted in cobalt blue, representing a stylized flower surrounded by dark olive green leaves and a small tender pink bud, framed by two circular blue lines.
