German Stoneware Oil and Vinegar Bottles

German Stoneware Oil and Vinegar BottlesA matched pair of hand painted stoneware cruet bottles, one labelled Olie (oil) and one Azijn (vinegar) in Dutch, in the cobalt blue on grey salt glaze tradition of German Westerwald pottery. Each bottle is cylindrical with a narrow neck and a rounded acorn shaped stopper glazed in deep cobalt, and the body is decorated with a loose folk art pattern of heart shapes, stylised tulip leaves, and scrollwork, all painted freehand in the same vivid blue.
