Antique German Salt-glazed Stoneware Moon Flask – Very Good Condition

Description

This wonderful German cobalt blue salt glazed stoneware moon jug is in very good condition. It was made around 1890 and is marked at the base with a distinct model number 566A. It has a slightly raised decoration and is quite heavy. The term ‘Moon Jug’ derives from its shape and was originally used as a carafe or a water pitcher. It has a double headed eagle motif to the centre and today is highly collectable piece.

This later became a purely decorative piece. With its beautiful ornate decoration it would look stunning as a display piece with similar items, or just a stand alone piece.  This would make the perfect gift for a collector of German Tavern Ware.

It measures 35.5cm Tall x 25cm Widest x 9cm depth. Colour, blue and grey
