Waterjug with large handle - ID help wanted.
« on: December 12, 2007, 10:41:09 AM »
Last weekend I found this brown waterjug (is it a waterjug, Pip? ::)) or pitcher it stands 19cm tall and has a fairly large handle. It is marked at the bottom with a picture of an owl. Searched the web and the only thing I found that it may be Belgian.

Anyone seen this mark before, and I really like to know what or where this pottery comes from.

Thanks in Advance, Orpheus  :ao:

A jug and a pitcher are basically the same thing but they usually have handles and, they must have pouring spouts and they may have lids. A vase doesn't have a lid or a spout but it may have handles. Pitcher is more commonly used in the USA, jug in the UK

Yesterday in a recycle-shop in friesland I found a pitcher with a label with the same owl on it!!!! It's from pottery Keramikos in Tijnje, Holland. Lucky me.  :ao:
