Three substantial ribbed handles rise from the shoulder and frame the opening, while applied bands of clay, decorated with rhythmic thumb-pressed impressions, run vertically and diagonally across the body, giving the surface a deliberately handmade, almost primitive quality. Several firing cracks are visible, so the jug should be considered decorative rather than watertight, although it remains structurally sound and solid. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe combination of bold yellow glaze, unusual shape and tactile decoration gives the piece a lively, expressive presence. It would work beautifully on a shelf, table or kitchen dresser, either left empty as a sculptural object or used with a discreet liner to hold flowers or branches. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age.\u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 9\" high x 9½\" long x 8¼\" \u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 23cm high x 24cm long x 21cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chez Pluie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54501453627730,"sku":"25680","price":595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1166\/6698\/files\/DSC06067_486a92ca-c09e-4ce9-95fb-7b3553491c23.jpg?v=1788344127","url":"https:\/\/www.chezpluie.com\/products\/early-to-mid-20th-century-yellow-glazed-ceramic-jug-w-thumb-pressed-decoration-9","provider":"Chez Pluie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
