<p>[QUOTE="ValerieK, post: 4435387, member: 7360"]Thank you so much for your suggestion, I think you are probably right. I've just had a look at various Thun items online, and the dark brown background is just the same, although most of the items have intricate decorative patterns rather than anything figurative. None of the ones I've found have any kind of impressed mark, but most have a clearly painted mark with Thun or Thoune and other potters' marks, often on on lighter patch of glaze. A description of Thun on a pottery website describes it as a place with a number of separate small potteries, so maybe my jug was made by a pottery with a slightly different approach, but adhering to the theme of bold colours on a chocolate brown background. The Thun/Thoune potteries look like a great collecting theme, thank you for introducing me to them![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
