Portuguese Terracotta Jug ‘Vimeiro Termas da Saúde’

About the Item

Terracotta jug, ‘Vimeiro Termas da Saúde’. Made from fired clay, it has a warm orange colour characteristic of terracotta, combined with a glazed finish that gives it a soft sheen and protection against humidity. The decoration is handmade, with an exuberant floral pattern made up of red, blue and purple flowers, accompanied by green leaves that spread harmoniously across the body of the jug. The rim is decorated with a motif of small red berries and a black line that runs around the entire opening. The piece has a well-defined handle and a wide mouth, making it functional both for serving liquids and for decorative purposes. On the front, the inscription ‘Vimeiro - Termas da Saúde’ suggests that this is a souvenir representative of the region.
