An extraordinarily bright and colourful, large majolica terracotta jug, made in Italy yet almost identical in style (not size) to the antique English Beswick ware Venetian range.  This is ornately decorated in vibrant, Mediterranean tones and depicts a rainbow songbird in dense, green foliage. With its double handles coloured in bright candy stripes, this is a glorious tropical extravaganza of colour.  Guaranteed to bring cheer to any room and to draw comment!
In superb condition, just a small nibble to the green glaze on the pouring lip, as shown.
