About this work

This is a photo of two blue-and-white ceramic pitchers. They’re round, with wide bell-shaped tops and two sturdy handles. The surface is covered in dark blue swirls and shapes—like leaves, flowers, and maybe vines—on a cream background. The rims have a striped pattern, and the bottoms look slightly worn. The pitchers seem handmade, with brushstrokes still visible in the designs. They look like something you’d use to pour wine, not just display. The blue paint is deep and slightly uneven, giving it a rustic feel. If you like this style, check out dianthu caryophyllu—it’s one of the flowers often painted on these kinds of ceramics.
