HN018 | Rustic glazed clay jug with two handles
Description
Once used to transport and serve fresh water, this glazed ceramic jug was a staple of rural domestic life. The side spout allowed for precise pouring, while the two handles—one on the side and one on the top—made it easier to carry and use. The surface reveals the signs of age and handling, with irregular glaze and fire marks, characteristic of utilitarian pieces wheel-shaped by local artisans.
