[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 670525, member: 2844"]Very nice jug, Charlie. I think so too. If you look past the colour, the shape and decoration are very European. In former centuries black pottery was made in many places in Europe, but this jug clearly isn't antique. I have been trying to remember where black pottery was still made, and the light bulb moment finally came at 4 am.:yawn: Lithuania!:wideyed: I am not saying this is definitely Lithuanian, but it is worth looking into. The name, as far as we can read it, could be Lithuanian, they often have long names ending in -is or -as. The styles are very diverse, since most black pottery is studio pottery.
