About the Item

Jug with handles, in Ancora ceramic, Czechoslovakia. Elongated and elegant in shape, with a slightly rounded body that tapers at the base and opening. The textured finish in an ochre tone creates a rustic and natural appearance, which contrasts with the decorative elements in blue and other bright colors. The robust wings stand out for their arched shape and spiral details and small floral motifs in relief. Painted in a deep shade of blue, the wings complement the rest of the decor, bringing visual balance to the piece. The handle design also has a practical function, providing a safe and comfortable way to hold the jar. The center of the jar is framed by a circular rim with red and white details, with a medallion decorated with flowers and a butterfly in flight. The flowers, in shades of red, white and green, are stylized, referring to the naturalist and organic style of Art Nouveau. The colorful butterfly adds dynamism to the composition, symbolizing transformation and ephemeral beauty. The circular frame around the central panel creates a spotlight effect, directing the eye directly to the decorative scene. The high relief details reinforce the three-dimensional effect, making the floral motif appear to jump out of the surface of the vase. Marked at the bottom.
