Peruvian Pottery Jug with Double Spout and HandleHand Painted Folk Art
Vintage
This vintage hand painted pottery jug has two spouts and a handle. The bottom of the jug is signed "Lima, Peru, 75/". It is 7 3/4 inches high and approximately 4 inches wide. There is some light crazing visible on the pale yellow background. Yellow and blue strips adorn the spouts, handle, and bottom of the jug. The main image is of a mythic-looking bird, perhaps Quetzalcoatl, painted in green, brown, red, and yellow.
No cracks or chips. There are irregularities in the glaze that I think are part of the creation process: one or two drips, thin spots, paint smudges, dimples, etc. You can also see some crazing when held up to a strong light. There is shelf wear along the bottom resting rim of the piece. Please view all photos carefully, as they are part of the description.
