Covered Jug

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Covered Jug, crafted by Delft, features a white ceramic body adorned with blue designs. The vessel has a bulbous lower section, a narrower upper section, and a short neck. A handle is attached to the left side, and the piece is topped with a metal lid that has a decorative knob. The blue design includes a scenic landscape with trees, a building, and a figure. The base and top of the jug are encircled by metal bands. The base of the jug is flared. The background of the image is dark, with a light source casting a shadow to the right of the jug.
