Escorted lady in blue & green oil bottle

This handcrafted white stoneware oil bottle features a whimsical scene inspired by 16th-century drollery imagery: a noble medieval lady attended by an unusual retinue of fish guards. Hand-colored in vibrant hues, the fantastical illustration draws upon the playful absurdity and visual storytelling found in Renaissance marginalia and early printed works.

Set against a soft white glaze, the scene celebrates the curious and imaginative spirit of historical drolleries while showcasing contemporary ceramic craftsmanship. Each bottle is individually decorated and kiln-fired, creating a one-of-a-kind functional vessel that bridges historical inspiration with modern artistry. Perfect for olive oil, infused oils, or as a distinctive decorative object for collectors of the whimsical, the historical, and the delightfully strange.
