Vintage Peruvian Painted Pottery Canteen with Jaguar Handle

A round Peruvian pottery canteen on a small pedestal foot, with a red jaguar arching over the top as the handle and a little spout on the side. The front is painted with two Andean women in bowler hats and long braids carrying clay pots, in bright red, pink and yellow on a deep plum ground.

Set it on a bookshelf or mantel with the painting facing out, or tuck a few dried stems or grasses in the top. It brings a hit of color to a room full of wood and neutrals.
