Southern Italy Earthenware Jug","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis earthenware jug, with its soft ochre clay body and hand-painted geometric motifs in red slip, is a fine example of southern Italian pottery from the 18th to early 19th century. Such jugs were commonly used in rural households for storing water, wine, or oil, their wide mouths and sturdy handles designed for daily use. The hand-painted decoration—simple yet rhythmic in its bands and looping patterns—adds a touch of artistry to what was otherwise a utilitarian vessel, reflecting the timeless balance of form and function in Mediterranean craftsmanship.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"House of Relics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43933269393521,"sku":null,"price":500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/9704\/7665\/files\/7P5A1413_d3def595-abbd-468f-86aa-996432dab3ed.jpg?v=1786121788","url":"https:\/\/thehouseofrelics.com\/products\/18th-c-southern-italy-earthenware-jug","provider":"House of Relics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
