Covered jugs like this one kept the coffee hot as it was carried from kitchen to reception room. In the mid 16th century, coffee drinking had spread from Yemen to other parts of the Ottoman empire. By the 18th century, when this jug was made, it was widespread. This piece was made in Kütahya, in western Anatolia. The town had a long tradition of making pottery. In the 16th and 17th centuries, it was overshadowed by the town of Iznik. But in the 18th century, after the industry in Iznik collapsed, Kütahya became the main centre for fritware production in Turkey. Fritware, also called stone paste and quartz paste, was developed by Middle Eastern potters as a response to the challenge posed by Chinese porcelain.

Fiziksel açıklama
Tall jug with a fluted body (with no spout), a loop handle and a domed lid with a pointed knob. Painted decoration in cobalt blue under a clear glaze. A pattern of foliate chevrons runs vertically up the body. A band of inverted chevrons encircles the jug rim, a pattern mirrored by chevrons running around the edge of the lid, forming a diamond pattern when the lid is placed on the jug. The lid also has a band of chevrons encircling the knob which is left in reserve. The handle is decorated by dashes of blue spaced by hatching. The foot is left in reserve.
