Vintage Glazed Earthenware Ewer/Pitcher – Hand-Painted Floral Decoration

Vintage Artistic Ewer: A magnificent glazed earthenware jug, characterized by its highly original shape with a long, curved spout (often called a "swan neck spout" for certain types of jugs) and a distinct square handle. Hand-Painted Floral Decoration: The piece is entirely decorated with vibrant, hand-painted floral motifs. Stylized flowers in shades of burnt orange, cobalt blue, and olive green are featured against a bright white background. The base is enhanced with a blue and white band. Artisan Marks: The underside of the base reveals hand-painted marks, likely the artisan's initials (MH or WH) and a model or batch number (12). These marks add to the authenticity and uniqueness of this handcrafted piece. Use and Style: While it may have originally been a decorative ewer or wine pitcher (typical in some regions for serving water or wine), it is now perfect as a centerpiece vase for cut or dried flowers, adding a touch of rustic chic or Mediterranean style to your décor. Excellent vintage condition for its age. The glaze is glossy and the colors are vibrant. The item is intact, with no visible chips or cracks. The base shows the terracotta and the maker's marks. Please examine all photos carefully for details of the decoration and marks. Dimensions: Diameter 15 cm, Height 34 cm. Fast and careful shipping.
