Painting Description
A quiet kitchen moment, three aged jugs, and a weathered countertop — each bearing the marks of use, softened by time and memory.
Three rustic jugs rest on a weathered wooden kitchen countertop, set against a white plank wall with horizontal grooves. The hand-painted scene captures quiet domestic charm with soft edges, natural tones, and a warm, timeworn palette. Each jug is distinct in shape, size, and material—one is a two-toned stoneware moonshine jug with a rounded body and narrow neck. Another is a pewter-colored tin water pitcher with a wide spout and angular handle. The third is a small, dark brown ceramic container with a wire handle. Their aged surfaces suggest years of use—cool stoneware, muted metal, and glazed clay catching soft ambient light. Signed by the artist Teresa Bernard in the lower left corner, the signature ensures originality and authorship.
Painted in oil on a sturdy 12″ by 9″ canvas board, Three Rustic Jugs offers lasting durability and archival quality. Its realism and fine detail are preserved on a heavy-duty surface that should be framed before display. The piece arrives unframed, making it easy to tailor its presentation to suit your personal style and space. A Certificate of Authenticity is included, hand-signed by Teresa and embossed with her personal seal. It ensures genuineness, provenance, and lasting value.
Part of the celebrated Kitchen Still Life Series, this painting captures the distinctive spirit that defines the collection. Shaped by Teresa’s signature realistic style, the composition evokes nostalgia and quiet dignity. It’s a one-of-a-kind artwork that brings warmth, character, and timeless charm to any room.

Reflections from the Artist
There’s something quietly comforting about old jugs — their worn surfaces, humble shapes, and the way they seem to hold stories as well as liquids. I’ve always been drawn to these kinds of objects: ceramic, tin, stoneware — each one with its own texture and history. They remind me of simpler times and the quiet dignity of everyday life.
‘Three Rustic Jugs’ has a folksy charm that I find deeply appealing. It’s not a grand scene, just three well-used containers resting on a weathered kitchen counter. But that simplicity is exactly what gives this piece its strength. The muted tones, the aged materials, the unpolished setting — they all work together to create a sense of warmth and nostalgia.
If you appreciate antiques and the beauty of domestic history, this painting will feel right at home in your space. It’s a quiet tribute to the kinds of objects that often go unnoticed yet carry so much meaning.
—Teresa Bernard, oil painter
