Jug 1941

Giacinto Capelli's 1941 "Jug" is a watercolor painting depicting a stoneware jug with a cobalt blue floral design. The jug itself is a typical form with a wide base and a short neck, and is adorned with a stamp that reads "West Troy, NY Pottery." The artwork captures the rustic charm of traditional pottery making. Capelli was an artist who specialized in still lifes, particularly those depicting everyday objects, making this work a representative example of his artistic style. This painting is a celebration of the humble jug, a reminder of its enduring presence in American culture.
