Hand-painted in warm colors on a traditional double-neck ceramic form, unmarked but consistent with mid-century Japan or Italian imports.
A handsome, functional accent for a country kitchen or farmhouse table.
The story goes that in 1478, roosters in a Florence courtyard crowed and foiled an assassination plot against the Medici family — and so the patriarch ordered rooster-shaped pitchers made as a symbol of fortune. Whether this one carries that lineage or simply the cheerful farmhouse spirit the rooster has always represented, it makes a fine piece for the kitchen.
A characterful choice for an Italian-themed table or a collector of folk-art kitchenware.
