Gouda Pottery Communion Jug by Hans Mengelberg, Latin Inscription, 1950s
About the Item
This rare ceramic communion wine jug, crafted in the 1950s by Plateelbakkerij Zuid-Holland Gouda pottery, reflects the elegant simplicity of mid-century design with a deep spiritual purpose. Designed by Hans Mengelberg for use in Christian churches, the jug features a smooth, spherical form finished in a sophisticated soft sage-blue glaze with delicate gold trim that enhances its refined appearance. A raised Latin inscription, “In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti, Amen” (In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen), encircles the midsection, adding to its harmonious and symbolic design.
Part of a limited production made exclusively for churches, this communion jug is extremely rare and highly collectible. Hans Mengelberg, known for his significant contributions to liturgical art in the mid-20th century, often merged modern design with sacred symbolism. This piece stands as a fine example of his ability to blend mid-century aesthetics with spiritual function, further elevated by its subtle gold detailing. It is a unique artifact for collectors of both ceramic art and religious history.
The jug remains in excellent condition, preserving the high-quality craftsmanship for which Gouda pottery is renowned. It is an extraordinary piece that combines historical, artistic, and spiritual value, perfect for those seeking rare and meaningful design objects.
