Object description :

"Small Pewter Pitcher, Called Demi-posson. Rouen. Late 18th Century."
Lowered baluster body, placed on an oblique plinth. Stick lid thumb. Crossette handle. This measure called "lady" in Normandy, gauge 0.58 L. Penultimate of the series of pitchers of a complete series of 7, it is therefore a half-fish, or 1/32 of a quart (or pot). The vast majority of pewter pitchers made in ROUEN, all manufacturers combined, have a shoulder shape, only the last 3, the smallest: posson; demi-posson, roquille, are of the baluster type. For our half-fish, the absence of any stamping is probably explained by a manufacture after 1791, date on which, the abolition of corporations and taxes, removes all control. However, it can be unquestionably attributed to a master potter still active at this troubled time: Robert Toussaint BAILLARD. Height at the lid: 8 cm. Period Late 18th century. Very good condition. Free shipping by COLISSIMO for metropolitan France.
