Antique Electric Blue "Evil Eye' Jug
An antique, one-of-a-kind jug with a charming hand painted decoration across the front. The unique motif depicts a bird in magnificent electric blue, with the traditional eyes at the top of the jug in a pastel pistachio green, designed to ward off evil. Wine and water jugs from Puglia usually have the most extensive decorations and this one dates back to the late 1800s. This hand thrown piece has a well-loved patina that is testament to its many years of use as a practical piece of pottery to serve a family. Today, this wonderful jug with its distinctive pattern and elegant form would be ideal as a vase for fresh flowers or as a decorative display piece.
Found in Lecce
the baroque jewel and capital of the Salento.
Dimensions: H25cm x W19cm x D16cm
These are handmade antique ceramics that are perfectly imperfect and some have been used for generations, so please expect some cracks, and chips, and discolouration. These individual characteristics are part of the charm and unique quality of each piece. Please note, colour may vary from screen to screen.
