About the Item
Crafted in the traditional style of gray pottery adorned with cobalt blue floral motif, this salt-glazed stoneware jar hails from the Westerwald region in Germany with centuries-old tradition of salt glaze stoneware production. With a heritage spanning over 400 years, this handmade jar reflects the region's rich history of craftsmanship. Originally crafted for the purpose of storing and preserving food during winter, this salt-glazed stoneware jar reflects the utilitarian yet artistic essence of traditional German pottery.
Notably, the jar bears a practical detail: beneath one of its handles lies a marking indicating its capacity, denoting that it can hold 2 liters. Inscribed underneath is the abbreviation "WW," signifying its origin from Westerwald. "Westerwald" translates to "West Wood" in German. This jar is versatile and can be used for serving food, as a vase, or as a planter.
ABOUT WESTERWALD POTTERY
Westerwald pottery, originating from the Westerwaldkreis region in Germany, is renowned for its salt-glazed grey stoneware adorned with cobalt blue designs. This stoneware is renowned for its glossy surface created by the salt glaze. The Westerwald pottery emerged in the late 16th century when potting families from Siegburg and Raeren migrated to the area, bringing their craft. By the 17th century, it gained global popularity, featuring portraits of figures like William III of England and Louis XIV of France. Domestic pieces boasted intricate patterns like rosettes and cherubs. The Keramikmuseum Westerwald showcases its rich history.
