Wholesale Ribbed white porcelain milk jug, gold trim, antique tableware

The white porcelain of this milk jug has the softness of beautiful simple things. The cylindrical body, gently curving toward the base, is crossed by fine, regular vertical fluting that catches the light in a succession of pearly reflections. A gold band encircles the neck, highlighting the flared spout hand-pleated, and a second short band runs along the rim of the foot, uniting the piece in a sober, classical elegance. The round handle, well proportioned, offers a secure grip. The gilding shows the marks of long use, the natural patina of an object that graced real tables. The base, unmarked, is characteristic of European dinnerware from the first half of the 20th century. On a laid table, at breakfast or for tea, this milk jug naturally finds its place. Height: about 12 cm.
