Three jugs – 19ᵗʰ century – Périgord

The small one – [PA046]

This jug comes from the pottery center of Beauronne-Douzillac, in the Dordogne.
It could be used as a reserve of walnut oil for lighting as well as a water jug for table service.
Height: 20 cm.

The one of medium size – [PA047]

In the same register – this double vocation to contain oil or water – we observe here a variant with a more paunchy, more generous shape.

Height: 25 cm.

The large one – [PA048]

As for this large model of a pitcher, it illustrates the regular exchanges between clay and pottery, the pottery center of Beauronne-Douzillac in Dordogne and that of Sadirac in Gironde.
It can therefore come from one or the other. At the same time, the two potters’ centers produced many of their “bottles” with quite similar clays and green glazes.

Height: 33 cm.

Price: on demand.
