. THIS IS ONE OF THE RAREST POTERIES ANCIENNES THAT I HAD FOUND IN A LONG WHILE. IT PLEASED ME SO THAT I KEPT IT FOR A FEW MONTHS TO ENJOY IT. THIS WAS USED AS A SCOOP FOR GRAINS FOR CHICKENS, GOOSE., PIGEONS RABBIT. SMALLER BARNYARD ANIMALS. OF COURSE IT WAS KEPT IN THE LARGE GLAZED GRAIN JARS BUT IT HAD A SECOND JOB AS WELL. THE SCOOP COULD ALSO BE USED AS A FEEDING VESSEL IT SELF IF THE FARMER WOULD BE AWAY FOR A DAY OR TWO. ONCE THE ANIMALS HAD EATHEN THE GRAIN TO A CERTAIN LEVEL, THE ANGLE THAT WAS MEASURED BY WHERE THE POTTER PUT THE LEG, WOULD SWING IT TO THE OTHER-SIDE THEREFORE CONTINUING FEEDING THE ANIMALS WHEN THEY FELT LIKE ANOTHER NOSH. IT WAS PRIMITIVE PIECE IF YOU COMPARED IT TO THE ADVENT OF THE MID 19TH C AS TOOLS BECAME MORE SOPHISTICATED BUT QUITE FRANKLY, I THINK IT WAS PRETTY AMAZING. THE DESIGN AND THE WORK ON THE FAT HANDLE ALONE WAS A MONUMENTAL JOB WITHOUT UPDATED FOURNILS AND TECHNIQUES, ANOTHER OPTION WHICH WAS THOUGH OF BY THE POTTER, WHEN NOT IN USE, YOU COULD STAND IT ON ITS SIDE. THE INTENSE EMERALD THICK GREEN WITH RIDGED LINES ON THE GRAIN SIDE AND THE AMOUNT OF GREEN GLAZE FROM ABOVE THAT DRIPPED ON THE BACK OF THE PIECE MAKES THIS QUITE STUNNING IN ALL WAYS. AGE, INNOVATION, COLOR AND FORM. 8X8X8.THIS IS A MUSEUM PIECE IF IN FRANCE. I\'VE NEVER SEEN ANOTHER EXCEPT IN A BOOK OR TWO
