An old wine jar, one that would have been use at home, with the wine taken out from a ladle.
I particularly like the glazing on this jar, there seems to be a metallic gloss that is similar to the shine of a car’s body and of course the beige brush stroke on the lip of the jar. Both of these seems to enhance on the texture of the wine.
