About this work

Stoneware flagon on a high foot with an egg-shaped body and a narrow neck with a pinched spout. The C-shaped handle is attached to the neck and shoulder. Profiles on the neck and foot. Partially covered with cobalt blue glaze. The flagon is decorated with a relief decoration in which the belly is largely covered with impressed and applied medallions with a flower rosette against a blue background. A modeled mask is attached to the neck under the spout. A tin mount with a lid is attached to the handle; traces of blue painting. The handle is in the form of two acorns. Two marks on the lid: three crosses under a crown and a Greek cross. Westerwald.
