Jug (Enghalskrug) 1715 - 1725

This ceramic jug, crafted by the German artist Bartholomäus Seuter between 1715 and 1725, is a beautiful example of the "Enghalskrug" style, which is characterized by its narrow neck and rounded body. The jug is decorated with a vibrant array of flowers, birds, and insects, all meticulously painted in bright colors against a white background. The silver-plated lid and base add a touch of elegance to this utilitarian object, making it both practical and decorative. The "Jug (Enghalskrug)" is part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
