History: This charming mid-century jug features a detailed pastoral transfer scene, depicting a manor with a steepled building by a lake, bordered by a large tree and a lone fisherman in a rowboat. The colors—soft blue sky, warm autumnal browns, and bright yellow foliage—are typical of European ceramics from the interwar to postwar period. The jug's scalloped rim and gently bulbous form suggest a utilitarian yet decorative function, likely intended for cream or milk service.
 
 
The base bears an impressed model number 12660 II but lacks a factory name or logo, making precise attribution difficult. However, this style was popular in German, Czech, and Austrian porcelain firms between the 1930s and 1950s. The numbers suggest it could be part of a large mold catalog, typical of companies such as Carl Tielsch, Z.S. & Co., or similar producers.
 
 
Crazing and wear around the transfer indicate age-consistent condition. While not a high-value piece, it holds strong decorative appeal and collectible interest, especially for those drawn to nostalgic landscape scenes.
