Krug 1695 - 1705

This "Krug" (a type of jug) is a fine example of 17th-century German pottery, decorated in the popular "Chinoiserie" style. The intricate floral motifs, inspired by Chinese porcelain, are painted in blue and red on a white ground, creating a visually captivating design. The piece is on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of the Rose factory, a renowned ceramic workshop in Germany.
