AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Decorative fayence jug with tin lid and signature, presumably from the late 18th century. The jug is richly hand-painted and depicts an architectural landscape scene with church or city silhouette as well as floral elements. The typical blue line border and folk painting style suggest a traditional Central European fayence work.
The tin lid is crafted solidly, with a thumb lever and encircling decorative engraving. The curved handle is also hand-painted.
Material: faience / ceramic, tin lid
Height: approximately 23 cm
Epoch: late 18th century (ca. 1750–1800)
Decor: hand-painted cityscape or landscape scene. The figure wears a so-called three-cornered hat, knickerbockers, and a justaucorps (long coat). This is the classic fashion of Rococo or the late 18th century.
Condition: age-appropriate good condition, with signs of use and aging, fine hairline cracks in the glaze (typical for fayence), minor areas of abrasion; the tin lid shows patina and slight damage.
No visible restorations.
A beautiful collector's mug for lovers of antique ceramics, faience, or historic beer mugs – also excellent as a decorative piece.
