Portuguese Studio Pottery Jug with Blue and Pink Floral Design

This hand painted Portuguese studio pottery jug brings the colour and charm of Mediterranean ceramics to any home. Measuring 16 cm in height and 15 cm across, it is a decorative and versatile piece, perfect for small floral displays, kitchen styling or as an eye catching shelf accent.

Crafted from terracotta clay, the jug is covered in a glossy white glaze and decorated with vibrant blue leaves and pink peony-like flowers. The painterly brushwork and lively palette reflect Portugal’s rich ceramic tradition, where each piece is hand finished and no two are exactly alike. The handle is finished with a bold striped pattern that adds extra character and a playful touch.

Although compact, this jug offers many styling possibilities. Use it as a small vase for garden blooms, herbs or dried grasses, place it on open shelving to add a splash of colour, or include it in a dining table arrangement as a decorative centrepiece. Its joyful colour scheme makes it easy to pair with both crisp white tableware and natural wood.

Condition is excellent, with no chips, cracks or visible wear. The glaze retains a rich gloss and the painted decoration remains fresh and vivid. Subtle brush marks and slight variations are natural features of handmade pottery and add to the jug’s authentic charm.

Whether you collect Portuguese ceramics or simply want to bring a touch of Mediterranean colour into your home, this studio pottery jug is a beautiful and versatile choice. Its hand painted detail and cheerful presence make it a decorative accent you will enjoy for years to come.
