"French Pouring Bowl (18th Century)"
French earthenware jug from the first half of the 18th century. This container was likely used to store sauces served with meals. This jug was made from high-fired clay. The green copper oxide shard has been covered with a layer of salt glaze. This technique involves throwing table salt into the kiln while firing the pottery, giving the object a subtle sheen. This technique also creates the typical orange peel structure that gives this jug its unique character. This cup was likely made in southwest France during the first half of the 18th century. Condition: This cup is in perfect condition and shows no visible signs of damage.
