These are objects that have already lived a life. They were made by hand, used daily, and have arrived here still doing what they were always meant to do. We collect these pieces because they show the kind of character that comes from decades of use, the evidence of the maker’s hand, and a beauty that adds texture, history and warmth to a home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat you’re seeing in this collection is just a small selection of our antiques. For the full range of our latest pieces, we recommend a visit to our North Branch, NY location where you’ll find an ever changing collection of pieces that have caught our eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout this piece\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSalt glazing, one of the oldest ceramic techniques in the European tradition, produces a distinctive surface unlike any other, the glaze running and pooling in unpredictable ways as salt vaporises in the kiln and bonds with the clay. On this jug the glaze moves beautifully between tones, from pale grey to warm amber, giving each area of the surface its own character. At 16 inches tall it is a substantial and commanding piece. The single handle is solid and well-formed. A jug that has presence wherever you put it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood antique condition.
