The combination of abstract patterns with elegant shape lifts this jug away from functionalism and into the realm of art. It is a vessel designed to give pleasure to the eye even as the water it contains delights the throat. Its original owner must have appreciated beauty in every detail of his surroundings; the person who possesses it today will share that taste.
