With purchase of several pieces I give a dispatch discount ANTIQUE GERMAN STONEWARE This item is not an industrially manufactured bulk product. What you see is an eminently rare piece of German craftsmanship. Recognizable by the irregularities from the very crafting, this storage jar comes from a time when pottery was thrown instead of casted galore. Despite its age it is very well-preserved.

The salt glaze develops during the burning process by scooping common salt into the oven at a temperature of 1250 degree Celsius.

If you value originality, craftsmanship and tradition, this storage jar will adorn your house as just these characteristics form part of its various virtues.
