ABOUT PRODUCTID 1670
This milk jug by Max Roesler was produced in Darmstadt during the 1920s and exemplifies the utilitarian design language of the Art Deco era. The body, crafted from glazed and painted ceramics in a vivid yellow tone, contrasts with the pure white upper section, handle, and spout. Distinctive white triangular accents radiate downward from the neck in a fan-like motif, emphasizing the geometric silhouette. The mechanical lid, made from nickel-plated brass, completes the design and highlights its functional aspect. The jug remains in excellent condition, showing no signs of damage. The jug's form evokes the sense of modernity typical of the 1920s—its geometric proportions, smooth surface, and bold coloration conjure associations with the energy and order of the period. The lid mechanism and angular, robust handle suggest a focus on practicality, while the interplay of colors and the fan motif reference the optimism and movement intrinsic to Art Deco. The ceramic feels cool and smooth to the touch, and the glossy glaze reflects light, enhancing its decorative presence. The jug may be displayed on an open shelf in the kitchen or dining room, where it will pair well with white tableware and glass for a cohesive, geometric ensemble. It can be combined with simple, neutral-toned ceramics, allowing the yellow hue and fan motif to stand out. The jug also works well alongside metallic accessories—such as a chrome tray or nickel-plated sugar bowl—and in spaces with abundant natural light to accentuate the glaze’s luster. For a harmonious, orderly effect inspired by the 1920s, it is worth pairing it with textiles in shades of grey or beige.
