Wonderful Art Pottery 3-Handled Jug from Italy - Assisi
Shipping/Handling: To Be Determined
Insurance: $1.75 USD

Wonderful Italian three handled jug with clover leaf shaped opening at top, a great example of terracotta pottery. This vintage jug from Italy is from Assisi and created in the early 20th century - there is a '25' mark on the bottom, which may indicate the year. The brilliant hand-painted colors are typical of Italian earthenware pottery. This piece has incised lines called Sgraffito, which is the practice of scratching boldly into the pottery before it is fired to reveal the clay color underneath. The inside is painted white, giving it a clean and bright appearance. In very good condition, there is a chip on the rim that has been repaired with applying the same color green to it as the green on the rim. This just adds to the vintage character of the piece. A beautiful example of Italian pottery!
