Antique Brown Indian Stoneware Swastika Good Luck Water Milk Jug Pitcher

  

Look at pictures closely, it's not perfect, it does have a small chip, it's not been used, but came out of an Estate Sale of a collector. This vintage Indian stoneware pitcher features a brown color with a swastika symbol, symbolizing good luck.

The unmarked piece is designed in a traditional style, perfect for serving water or milk. Made of high-quality stoneware, the pitcher is a unique and decorative addition to your kitchen or dining space. This pitcher features a design prominently displaying a swastika, which historically has different cultural and symbolic meanings. The swastika was widely used as a symbol of prosperity and good fortune in many cultures, including ancient India, East Asia, and Native American traditions, long before it was co-opted and associated with the Nazi regime in the 20th century. The design and glaze suggest it could be a piece of vintage or antique pottery, possibly from the early 20th century or earlier, when the swastika still had its original positive connotations. Cultural Context: Before its appropriation by Nazi Germany, the swastika was a common decorative motif in art and architecture, especially in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, during which it symbolized good luck and prosperity in the Western world as well. Possible Origin: The pitcher might be a product of a pottery company that incorporated this design before the 1930s.

It could have been produced in North America or Europe as part of the Arts and Crafts movement or for practical household use.
