NEOCLASSICAL MANUFACTURE

Jug. Inspired by an archeological design.

Coated bronze. 16 x 13,5 x 11 cm

A pitcher Inspired by unknown archeological findings, perhaps Pompeian.

The body is ovoidal in shape, with a human-shaped handle and a goat on the ribbed spout.

Items such as this were designed for the Grand Tour and meant for the eyes of wealthy and cultured tourists enamored with classical antiquities. A fine taste born in the 1700s and well alive up until the first decades of the 1800s.

A finely crafted jug with an exquisite coating.
