<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Finnclouds, post: 9739259, member: 84680&quot;]I’ve had this jug for a few years. It’s a flea market find from Lisbon. Couldn’t find much information about it when I was searching back then, and a museum I emailed never answered. So I thought I’d post photos here, but did another quick google search in case something new came up — and voilà, I found the answer.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is it anyway— perhaps it is of interest to someone else.</p><p>A large jug with 17th or 18th century motifs, some age to it and damage.</p><p>It says Talavera near the base and has a shield shaped mark on the bottom.</p><p><br /></p><p>Soooo, I was of course hoping it would be a really old one, but couldn’t find the mark anywhere. And even after I read about a man named Juan Ruiz de Luna who started making replicas of centuries old pots using traditional methods and restored the Talavera de la Reina pottery fame, I didn’t put two and two together — the mark and the&nbsp; famous ceramicist’s name.&nbsp; Until now.</p><p><br /></p><p>His marks are now shown in a few places online and a museum named after him is online. I think this jug dates to the early 20th Century, maybe even to his first period.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]475909[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]475910[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]475911[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
