Jug 1695 - 1705

This 17th-century jug, made at the Rose Factory in Germany, showcases the intricate floral designs popular during this period. The delicate blue and white palette, inspired by Chinese porcelain, is characteristic of the factory's work. The jug's bulbous shape, twisted handle, and detailed floral motifs speak to the craftsmanship and artistry of the Rose Factory, known for its high-quality porcelain wares. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York houses this exquisite example of German ceramic art, a testament to the factory's enduring legacy.
