Vintage Studio Pottery Terracotta Jug | Hand Thrown with Drip Glaze

This hand thrown terracotta jug captures the spirit of mid-century studio pottery with its earthy form and striking glaze. The jug is well-crafted with a broad shoulder, pulled handle, and narrow neck, showing the skill of the potter even though it is unsigned. The glaze runs in soft cream and caramel tones that flow beautifully over the warm terracotta base, creating an organic effect that collectors will appreciate.

Measuring approximately 25 cm in height with a base diameter of 16 cm, this is a substantial piece suited for display on its own or within a curated studio pottery collection. The surface is clean and smooth with no chips, cracks, or crazing, making it as functional as it is decorative. Its warm palette and form evoke the tradition of rustic stoneware, though the terracotta body gives it a softer, more natural presence.

While unsigned, the jug carries the hallmarks of a skilled studio potters hand and is far removed from mass production. Its a distinctive, authentic piece that would appeal to both collectors of South African studio pottery and those seeking an original accent for their home.
