About the Item

A striking antique Spanish majolica jug dating from the 19th century, decorated in a vibrant palette of cobalt blue, green, yellow and white tin glaze. The body is adorned with scrolling foliate ornament inspired by Renaissance and Baroque decorative traditions, while a red cross motif appears prominently within a cartouche on the front. The elegant baluster-shaped form, pronounced pouring spout and robust handle give the piece a strong architectural presence. The richly painted decoration demonstrates the enduring appeal of traditional Spanish ceramic craftsmanship, where bold colours and expressive brushwork were used to create highly decorative household objects. Both functional and sculptural, this jug makes an attractive display piece for collectors of Spanish ceramics, Mediterranean decorative arts and antique majolica. Dimensions: Height: 20 cm (7.8 in) Width: 17 cm (6.7 in) Condition: Good antique condition with age-related wear. There are several small chips and glaze losses along the rim and minor surface wear consistent with age and use. The colours remain vibrant and well preserved. No major cracks observed.
