About this work

This looks like a simple clay cup with a thick handle and a short, sturdy base. The surface is mostly a faded brownish-red, with some darker brown and faint green marks near the rim. The paint looks hand-drawn, with loose, uneven lines that don’t quite match up. The cup’s rough, uneven finish suggests it was made by hand, not a factory. The colors are simple—mostly earthy tones with a few small splashes of green or white. If you like this kind of handmade pottery, check out the Museum of Ethnography for more pieces like this.

These folk potters shaped everyday jugs and bowls, glazing only the top half and painting them with spirals, flowers, and bristle-like sprigs in mustard, green, and brown.
