ABOUT PRODUCTID 12751
This early 20th-century Hutsul milk jug exemplifies the artisanal woodworking traditions of the Carpathian region. Skillfully carved from a single piece of walnut wood, the vessel displays a warm, medium-brown tone with subtle golden undertones, highlighting the natural wood grain. Its surface bears a gentle sheen, indicative of light varnishing or polishing. Decorative deeply incised geometric and botanical motifs, typical of Hutsul folk art, adorn the body, including a symmetrical, pierced triangular pattern on one side that is both ornamental and structurally reinforcing. The borders feature intricately incised linings which frame the composition. The jug’s organic, irregular silhouette and elongated spouts on either side fuse Art Nouveau influences with regional folk sensibility. Traditional joinery and regional techniques are evident throughout the construction. The piece survives in very good historical condition, showing a delicate patina and minor irregularities from careful use, with no modern repairs or major damage.This vessel brings forth the voice of the Carpathians at the dawn of the 20th century—a time when everyday objects bore both utility and symbolic meaning. The sculpted carvings and botanical garlands echo the rhythm of daily rituals, interweaving traditional craftsmanship and artistic expression. The jug might recount
