White and Blue Ceramic Jug with Calligraphy and Braided Rope Handle
About the Item
With its organic surface, traditional form, and vivid blue calligraphy, this vintage ceramic jug makes a characterful accent for both modern and traditional interiors. The vessel features a slightly speckled greyish off-white glaze with cobalt brushwork in Chinese characters, lending both contrast and a sense of handmade authenticity. Its rounded shoulders taper toward a narrow foot and neck, creating an elegant silhouette typical of utilitarian pottery from the region. A tightly braided natural fiber rope remains attached to the neck, suggesting its original use as a sake or water jug. The glaze shows areas of light crackling and subtle imperfections, adding to its charm and underscoring its handcrafted origins.
Whether placed on a shelf, console, or used in a curated still life, this piece brings warmth and texture. The bold brushwork evokes calligraphic energy, while the neutral palette makes it easy to pair with a range of decor. Ideal for collectors of Asian ceramics or decorators seeking a soulful, storied object with rustic refinement.
