Antique Hand Painted 'Smoking Man' Jug
An antique hand-thrown XL jug with a uniquely hand painted decoration across the spherical body. The depiction includes a pipe-smoking man, vegetation and tree motif, as well as the traditional eyes at the top of the jug to ward off evil. Wine and water jugs from Puglia usually have the most extensive decorations and this one dates back to the late 1800s. This original piece has a unique surface texture and glaze in an ivory colour with its decorative splashes of blue and maroon. Today, this wonderful piece with its truly one of a kind pattern would be ideal as a vase for fresh flowers or as a decorative display piece.
Found in Lecce
the baroque jewel and capital of the Salento.
Dimensions: H29cm x W22cm x D19cm
These are handmade antique ceramics that are perfectly imperfect and some have been used for generations, so please expect some cracks, and chips, and discolouration. These individual characteristics are part of the charm and unique quality of each piece. Please note, colour may vary from screen to screen.
