Local daffodils in a pretty jug that I purchased when I lived in Dunedin. The jug is by Rosemary McQueen and I have a small matching bowl, both bought on a visit to the Stuart Street Potter’s Co-operative. They’re special as the artist produces maiolica (or majolica) ware. [The link goes to a blog article I found: The difference between Pottery, Ceramics and Majolica, with special regard to Italian Ceramics]
Rosemary McQueen displays photos of her work at flickr:

No. It came through a retailer.

Lovely still life, Liz. There is a group of bloggers who do themed posts. “In A vase on Monday” is one of them and this would fit right in. 🙂

Brightens up the kitchen! Btw, it’s snowing here today. We won’t get much but it suddenly turned cold overnight and it’s freezing cold outside right now!

That snow will make the next spring day feel more amazing! Hope the daffys keep you warm until then.

Your pitcher reminds me of a hand-painted ceramic pitcher and bowl I have from Portugal.

In C13 maiolica was imported to Italy via Mallorca (from the Middle East). Interesting history which is briefly outlined in the article I linked to. Did your pitcher and bowl come directly from the artist?
