ANTIQUE PAINTED TERRACOTTA JUG
A very unusual antique hand made terracotta harvest type jug with a pale yellow slip glaze on the rim, glazed inside and hand painted or stencilled on the unglazed outer surface with a pattern in black paint.
This jug was with a job lot of French stoneware but is probably from a Devon pottery, as I purchased it in Devon…! Either way, it is very charming and rustic with some chips and damage to the handle, it would make an ideal vase or teamed with other terracotta pots and planters.
Age: possibly late 19th century
Condition: Has chips and wear to the glazed rim, surface marks and some chips on the handle.
