Stoneware Salt Pot or Spice Jar

This is a small blue and grey ceramic salt pot or spice jar. It is cylindrical in shape with a slightly flaring rim and a recessed area on the interior to allow for a lid, although no lid is present in the image. The exterior surface is a mottled grey and white, featuring a decorative pattern of swirling blue lines and dots. There are two applied loop handles on the sides, giving the vessel a somewhat rustic or artisanal appearance. A thin blue line encircles the lower portion of the body, just above the base. The base itself appears to be unglazed. The ceramic body shows some visible texture and possibly some crazing in the glaze, suggesting a handmade or small-batch production method. The overall condition appears to be good, with no obvious chips or cracks visible in the image. The style is reminiscent of traditional German salt-glazed stoneware, sometimes referred to as "salt glaze pottery." Due to the applied handles and swirling blue design, it could be considered a decorative or functional kitchen item.
