Jug
This colourful earthenware jug with floral decoration comes from the now-defunct Maison Rigo in Brussels. From its mysterious origins as a flea market item to its current place as a decorative object, the jug illustrates the transition from a utilitarian use to an aesthetic role worthy of an objet d'art.
A witness to successive transmissions and uses, given its few signs of wear and tear, the jug highlights the reinvention of old objects and their conservation through a change of function. In this way, it has found a new place in the student's daily life, while preserving traces of its past. In this way, it develops a story and tells tales through its colours and patterns, which may awaken
memories in some people.
