Post‑medieval 18th‑century glazed earthenware pitcher from Spain, with a high tubular neck and broad handle, 16.2 cm high and 14.8 cm wide.
Description from the seller
Example of an 18th-century Spanish salt-glaze earthenware jug.
A partly glazed terracotta jug with a flat handle and a pour spout on a high tubular neck.
Old Spanish glazed earthenware jug in warm yellow glaze, made in the Burgos region in the 18th / 19th century.
The silhouette features a rare rounded lower body, a slightly cinched middle section, a tall neck and a wide handle.
The pinched pour spout and the irregular glaze drips reflect its rustic, handmade origins.
Exposed clay areas and surface wear highlight the jug’s utilitarian history as a domestic water or wine vessel.
The jug is coated in an ochre color on terracotta, giving the piece a strong Mediterranean palette.
Produced in northern Spain, this pot represents the functional traditions of Castilian farm pottery.
The ochre glaze, paired with visible firing marks, is characteristic of regional workshops where durable yet decorative items were made for everyday use.
These vessels embody Spain’s ceramic heritage, blending practicality with distinctive rural charm.
