Westerwald stoneware jug with numeral 3 and bunches of grapes – 18th/19th century

Westerwald jug with cobalt blue decoration and capacity mark

This pear-shaped Westerwald stoneware jug has a tall, ribbed neck, a handle and a freely painted decoration in cobalt blue: curling tendrils, two bunches of grapes made of dots and a large number 3. The number probably refers to the capacity measure or to a numbering used by the wine merchant.

Why we chose this jug

We found that big number 3 irresistible: graphic, quirky and almost modern. It tells something about daily use in an inn or wine cellar, and at the same time it simply has a very beautiful silhouette.

Style and interior

A strong accent in a country, brocante or wabi sabi interior, but also as a contrast in a sleek, minimalist home. Lovely with a single branch or dried flowers.
