This looks like an old ceramic jug with a cracked glaze. The body is mostly off-white, with green painted lines and shapes. One side shows a chessboard pattern, and the other has a leafy design. The top has a handle and a small spout. The jug’s worn spots hint at age. The chessboard might mean it was used for games or just for decoration. Check out the chessboard next—it’s a common symbol in folk art.
