This is a GORGEOUS piece of Talavera. This jug stands 14" tall and 11" from the side to side, including the handle. It is fully marked on the bottom and initialed by the artist. T are also impressed register marks on the bottom that are infilled with wax: the numbers are 045400. I cannot begin to describe this incredible piece: please take your time to look at the pictures. The colors are rich without being gaudy and the design is vibrant and energetic. The handle alone is an example of the finest craftsmanship: it is sooo graceful and yet substantial. How in the world did the potter get the wet clay to dry without this handle caving in: furthermore, how on earth did she/he fire it with it coming apart! The piece is big and impressive, yet potted and glazed with great skill. The walls are not overly thick. These fine-art Talavera pieces are retailing in high-end design centers and galleries in Atlanta and Dallas for $250 and up. My reserve is WELL below that amount. You will be thrilled to own this piece of beautiful pottery. It is a true show piece and an art piece. Perhaps some of you will recognize the artist's name when you see the piece in person. ***** Shipping and insurance are free within the continental US when the reserve price is met.*****Thank you very much.NOTE: I forgot that this listing was for today and didn't get
