This jug is decorated in hues of rich cobalt blue and terracotta highlighted with copious amounts of gilt. This is white hard paste porcelain and was made by Fischer & Mieg of the Pirkenhammer Porcelain Factory at Karlovy Vary, Carlsbad in English, in the Czech Republic, although in the past this part of Bohemia has been part of Germany, Austria and Czechoslovakia?
