Description

Made by the Boussu factory (founded 1960) in the period 1974-1986. This factory in the west of Belgium had a long tradition of making tableware and decorative items, mostly in glass, but also had a short period of experimenting with earthenware ceramics in the German style. This distinctive jug shape and decor is typical of the period and includes hand applied colored glazes and gold-leaf finishing (which is in excellent condition).

The piece is in excellent condition and a real beauty!
