Jug 1892

This "Jug" is an example of the Rookwood Pottery Company's artistic output in 1892. The piece, crafted from ceramic and decorated with silver-plated vines, exemplifies the Art Nouveau style prevalent in the late 19th century. Its decorative elements, like the swirling vines and grapes, are typical of the movement's emphasis on organic and flowing motifs. The Rookwood Pottery Company, known for its high-quality artistic ceramics, produced works like this jug that incorporated innovative techniques and designs. This jug, now a part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, is a testament to the company's legacy in the history of American ceramics.
