Production: Unidentified Westerwald pottery
Grey stoneware with applied relief decoration coloured with cobalt-blue and manganese-purple, and salt-glazed
Grey stoneware, thrown, and turned, with applied moulded relief decoration painted in cobalt-blue and manganese-purple and salt-glazed. The jug has a bubous body standing on a solid foot. Its short cylindrical neck has turned horizontal bands and a projecting cordon level with the top of the applied handle, which has a longitudinal groove on its back, and a kick at the lower end. The sides are decorated with five joined panels producing a row of upright tulip motifs over a row of inverted tulip motifs, and in the spaces, a quatrefoil motif surrounded by scrolling borders and tiny raised spots. There is a wide blue band round the foot and twoblue bands round the neck.
