Milk Jug Gr Itálica

Unlike most Sargadelos decorations, which are inspired by shapes drawn from Galicia’s rich cultural heritage, the *Itálica* motif is an exception. This design comes from a 2nd-century AD Roman mosaic that belongs to the archaeological site of *Itálica*, a city in the Roman province of *Baetica* (present-day Andalusia). This mosaic is part of a thermal bath area and is dedicated to the god Neptune, depicted at its center, surrounded by various sea creatures, most of them mythological. The central space is enclosed by a second band featuring birds, crocodiles, hunters with spears and shields, and plant elements. The *Itálica* motif is taken from the perimeter decoration of this remarkable ensemble. Height: 15,5 cm Capacity: 1 L Material: Porcelain Care: Suitable for dishwashers and microwaves
