About this work

This is a pair of old ceramic pitchers with worn, off-white bodies. They have two handles and are decorated with dark blue patterns—swirling leaves, dots, and what looks like the word "canceu" written in a loop. The designs are separated by thin greenish-yellow stripes. The pitchers show signs of age, with chipped paint and faded colors. The word "canceu" might be a maker’s mark or a symbol, but it’s unclear. Next, look up notching to see how these kinds of patterns were made.
