Brown stoneware jug with handle – 19th century

Hand-thrown brown stoneware jug

A simple but beautiful brown stoneware jug with a handle, hand-thrown and finished with a warm, glossy iron-brown glaze. The potter’s throwing rings are still clearly visible. Jugs like this were used in the 19th century for genever, oil or vinegar.

Why we chose this jug

Some objects need no decoration: the shape and the glaze say enough. This jug has a lovely full belly and a colour that changes in every light.

Style and interior

A classic in a wabi sabi, country or French brocante interior. Lovely with a large branch or pampas grass, or grouped with other jugs on the kitchen floor.
