A tall porcelain wine jug by Seltmann Weiden of Bavaria: a slender pouring ewer in cream, hand painted with trailing vine leaves in warm terracotta and gold tendrils with small grape clusters, finished with a gold line along the spout and handle.
Seltmann Weiden has made porcelain in the Bavarian town of Weiden since the early 20th century, and a jug of this shape belongs to the German table tradition, where wine and water were brought to the table in porcelain rather than glass. The vine and grape motif is the old shorthand for a wine vessel.
