CHARTRES, Second half of the 19th century

In perfect condition
These so-called “ration” pitchers were used in religious hospitable communities in the Chartres region and surrounding areas.
Jean-Baptiste and Francis VOVELLE were active from the mid- to late 19th century and, for half a century, produced these so-called “ration” pitchers for religious and hospital communities. All these pitchers had the same capacity of 0.28 liters.
