Description
This vibrant hand-painted ceramic mug features a lively maiolica-style decoration with abstract motifs in bold primary colors: yellow, red, blue, and black. The design evokes a playful character or bird on one side, and swirling patterns on the other. The mug has a classic rounded handle painted with red stripes. The unglazed bottom reveals the natural earthenware clay. This piece is characteristic of traditional Italian pottery, possibly from the mid to late 20th century.
