This petite hand-painted terracotta jug carries the warmth of the Mediterranean — the weight of red clay in your hand, the bold botanical motifs painted with confident brushwork, the mustard-gold glaze that catches the light from inside the wide open mouth. It is a small thing, but it holds a lot of character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMade in the majolica tradition — tin-glazed earthenware with overglaze hand-painted decoration — this jug features \u003cstrong\u003esgraffito-style incised outlines\u003c\/strong\u003e that give the floral design a subtle dimensional texture you feel before you fully notice it.
