Moustiers Jug H 30cm

This exquisite large Jug is made – and signed as such – by Moustiers*. As usual with Moustiers pieces, it is intricately decorated entirely by hand and dates back to the early 1900’s, making it officially an antique. This jug is large and measurews w 30 x d 24 x h 30cm and it weighs just under 2 kgs at 1991 grms. What a unique piece to have survived the years. Postage from France included.

*The manufacture of Moustiers earthenware follows a precise artisanal process, inherited from ancestral know-how. Each piece is crafted and decorated by hand, using techniques passed down from generation to generation. It all starts with the shaping of the earthenware, modelled by hand on the wheel, cast in moulds or stamped. After drying, the pieces undergo a first firing at more than 1,000 °C, giving rise to the “biscuit”. Then comes glazing, which gives earthenware its white and shiny appearance. The decorations are then painted by hand, directly on the raw enamel, with great precision. A second firing at nearly 980 °C definitively fixes the colours and reveals the brilliance of each piece. This meticulous process makes each creation a unique object.
