This is a pair of old ceramic jugs with two handles. They’re painted in blue and green on a light background, showing swirls and leafy patterns. Each jug has a number—one says "17" and the other "56"—and a green band near the top and bottom.
The numbers might add up to the year 1756, which is when these jugs were likely made. The designs look hand-painted, with careful details in the leaves and flowers.
Look up the technique: chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow for depth.
