AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

porcelain very good 19cm x 14cm dhlshipment
early 20th-century decorative ceramic water or milk jug/pitcher in an Art Deco–influenced style. A few clues stand out:

figure1=The dancing women/flapper motif points to the 1920s–1930s.
The bright cobalt blue with raised gilt scrollwork and crackle glaze was common in Japanese export ceramics and some European decorative ware of that period.
The molded “twig” or organic handle and hand-painted figures suggest it was made as decorative tableware rather than fine porcelain.
The unmarked base is important: many export wares from Japan before and after WWII either had paper labels (now lost) or very faint marks.
Most likely origin / factory
Japanese export pottery from the late Taishō to early Shōwa era (roughly 1925–1940), possibly from Nagoya-area kilns.
Estimated age
1925–1935 (most probable)
Possible broader range: 1920s–1940s
Estimated value
No obvious major cracks or repairs visible
Some wear to gilt
Typical crazing/crackle throughout
Approximate current market value:
$70–$90 USD in average decorative-antique markets
Up to $125–$175 USD if a known maker can be identified or if sold in a curated Art Deco shop
figure2-vintage hand painted decorative jug.8 inches
artificial inteligency inspection
This appears to be a relief-molded character tankard/mug featuring figures from the Robin Hood legend, including Friar Tuck (the larger monk in red) and a smaller Robin Hood figure with bow. Pieces like this were commonly produced by English pottery companies such as Royal Doulton, Beswick, or similar makers,
Typical Market Value
Based on comparable Robin Hood relief tankards:
Unmarked / souvenir pottery: about $40 – $80
