About this work
Milk jug in polychrome painted porcelain. The jug is almost entirely covered with a sea-green ground in which on the body and the lid two four-leaf clovers are cut out. In the four-leaf clovers, flower branches are painted; on the body on one side with a rock and on the other side with a bird. On the handle and spout, straw flowers are painted. Some parts are gilded. The jug is marked.
