Portuguese Earthenware Water Jug From Outeiro
About the Item
This water jug, in Portuguese faience from Outeiro, is a unique and refined piece that reflects the mastery of the region's ceramists. The polychrome decoration of the piece is rich in details, featuring flowers and leaves delicately painted in vibrant colors, such as the green of the leaves, the yellow of the flowers and the blue. But the biggest highlight is the coat of arms of Portugal, present in the center of the decoration. These weapons, symbolizing the country's history and identity, are majestically topped by a crown, giving the jar a noble and historical character. This royal element not only enriches the piece with a symbolism of prestige but also links it directly to the Portuguese monarchical tradition, conveying the cultural importance that ceramics had in the courts and aristocratic families.
The earthenware used in this jug is a high-quality ceramic, with an enamel finish that gives it a soft shine and a delicate texture to the touch. This enamel, in addition to enhancing the vibrant colors and intricate patterns, protects the piece, making it more durable and resistant to wear and tear over time. The body of the jug is robust and rounded, which gives it a balanced and welcoming appearance. The slightly flared base, characteristic of traditional jugs, offers stability, while the elegant handle makes handling practical. A truly classic piece, which combines aesthetics, functionality and history, representing the rich Portuguese artisanal tradition.
Marked at the bottom “Outeiro, Agueda, Portugal – R. Ribeiro, nº 138”.
