Hand-painted Mediterranean ceramic jug, signed "Sophia", colorful figural decoration, Vintage Studio Pottery, decorative vase Lava Mano

Hand-painted ceramic jug (width 16 cm, height 14 cm, weight 841 g), signed “Sophia” and marked “LAV A MANO” on the underside – an indication of genuine handwork. The piece likely originates from a Mediterranean workshop (Spain or Portugal, 1970s–1990s) and features a colorful, folkloric figural decoration in warm brown and gold tones, complemented by accents in white, green, blue, and violet.

The jug has a striking silhouette with a wide body, narrow neck, and a small square handle. The glossy glaze and vibrant painting make it a decorative statement piece, ideal for Mediterranean, boho-inspired interiors.
