From a French antique market. As you can see from the last photo (from Pieter Bruegel the Elder's painting "The Wedding Feast" 1567), this was widely used in the Middle Ages to serve water and wine at the table. Items from this era often have chipped spouts due to their age, but this one is beautifully preserved. The glaze is well-applied, and the construction is solid and heavy, making it perfectly suitable for use as a water pitcher, pitcher, or decanter even now. Although the era and country are completely different, I find it strange that it also has a Bizen-yaki (Japanese pottery) feel. It has a great atmosphere as is, and its low center of gravity and stable construction make it unlikely to tip over, no matter what you put in it. It can also be used as a vase or flower base for tall flowers. The capacity is about 2200ml when filled to the point of not spilling. Comparison photos (a., b., c.) with other items on sale are included.
