FRENCH ANTIQUE JUG POTTERY CONFIT VINTAGE CRUCHE EARTHENWARE CERAMIC VESSEL For Sale

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LANGUEDOCIENNE CRUCHE THAT I'VE EVER FOUND. THE CRUCHE WAS FOR POURING WATER AT DINNER. THIS WAS A LARGER POTERIE AND THUS, NEEDED FOR A LARGE FAMILY. VERY FEW WERE MADE THROUGHOUT THE YEARS FROM LATE 1800S TO THE EARLY HALF OF THE 19TH C. ENHANCED BY THESE CAVALCADE OF COLORS ESPECIALLY THE BLUE AND CLEAR GREEN, NO DOUBT THIS WAS MADE FOR A WEALTHY MERCHANT. THE PIECE WAS HEAVY AND IT HAD APPLIED A THIRD SMALL HANDLE THAT WAS USED FOR PREHENSION 'PROTECTION' WOMEN CARRIED THESE CRUCHES FROM THE LOCAL WATER SITE BACK HOME. BECAUSE OF THE WEIGHT, CARRYING THESE CRUCHES ON THE HEAD WAS THE EASIEST MODE FOR WOMEN WHO HELD ON TO THE THIRD HANDLE. THE THIRD HANDLE WAS A 'MUST'. WITHOUT IT, IT WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE TO CARRY BY HOLDING ONTO THE THIRD ANSE FOR EXTRA SECURITY. THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ORJOL/ LANGUEDOCIENNE / CRUCHE EVER FOUND! 14.5 INCHES H. WHAT ELSE DO I HAVE TO SAY? JUST LOOK AT PHOTOS. THE DOLLAR HAS LOST BEAUCOUP SINCE THE TARIFFS AND THE PIECE ITSELF WAS PRICES REFLECT THE CARE OF HAVING IT PACKED BY UPS AND ITS HEAVY WEIGHT WHICH IS CORRECT FOR A TRUE EARLY 19THC CONFIT POT. NOT ONLY IS INSURANCE INCLUDED BUT PROFESSIONAL PACKING DONE BY UPS . NEVER HAS ONE PIECE ARRIVED WITH A PROBLEM !
