1690 Blue & White Jug
1690 Blue & White Jug

Additional Notes: These earthenware ceramics are fired at relatively low temperatures and are not vitrified, which means they are slightly porous and coarser than stoneware or porcelain. Occasionally, if the vessel contains liquid, moisture will form a bloom on the base. Please make sure you protect precious surfaces if you intend to display these works for long periods of time containing water. To clean, wash gently in warm soapy water by hand. Not dishwasher safe.
