Beauvais Stoneware Broth Pot

Another planet than the one where it was necessary to comfort a woman in labor with broth, unless it was intended to strengthen a child in need... In the 19th century (still) it was not uncommon to go and borrow a fortifying beverage made in a pharmacy. Magistral preparations were commonplace. On the other hand, one could rarely afford the container. These were returned by the pharmacist. This stoneware pot from Beauvaisis, decorated with friezes in relief over the entire surface, serves as a thermos with its tin lid which is then enclosed by a screw cap of the same metal. Witness in perfect condition of a forgotten use. Another planet...
