westerwald - Pitcher - Earthenware

Richly detailed Westerwald vase with figurative relief – salt glaze – approx. late 19th / early 20th century

Highly decorative Westerwald vase made of salt-glazed stoneware, rendered in a deep cobalt blue shade with gray accents. This piece is distinguished by its exceptionally rich relief decoration and the central figurative scene on the body, framed by a finely detailed foliate and rosette motif.

On both sides there are small attached handles. The neck features a beautifully modeled mascaron and several decorative bands. The combination of figurative depiction, classical ornamentation, and a strong form makes this vase a particularly attractive collectible within Westerwald pottery.

The interior displays the characteristic salt glaze with subtle irregularities, fitting authentic stoneware from this period.

In good, original condition.
Normal signs of aging and usage.
• No cracks or restorations
• The glaze and relief are well preserved.
