Krug 1680 - 1690

This 17th century German "Krug" (a type of beer jug) made by Fehr is a fine example of the decorative arts of the time. Featuring a bulbous body and intricate floral designs painted in blue and brown, it is adorned with a silver lid, a practical and aesthetically pleasing feature. The jug is a testament to the craftsmanship and artistic sensibility of the period and its delicate decoration speaks to the cultural significance of beer in German society at the time.
