"Coquemar, Glazed Pottery, 17th Century"
Glazed pottery known as "coquemar," Beauvaisis, 17th century.Glazed in green on white clay, which turns pink when fired, this cooking pot has a classic, well-balanced shape.
It is spherical with a thickened rim featuring three raised bands. A thumb handle with a buttress attached to the base of the body. Three added solid feet ensure stability in the hearth.
A similar piece is reproduced in G.H. Rivière's "Art Populaire de France."
In very good condition, this pottery is representative of the utilitarian glazed earthenware of this period.
Width including handle: 25.5 cm.
