Description: REDUCED $140 FOR BLACK EBAY!THE CRUCHES USED THROUGHOUT FRANCE BOASTED DIFFERENCES IN EACH REGION .ATTENTION HAD TO BE MADE SO EACH REGION COULD BE RECOGNIZED. NONE OF THE OTHER REGIONAL CRUCHES COULD MATCH THE MARSEILLAIS CRUCHE WHICH WAS MADE OUTSIDE OF MARSEILLE. THE CRUCHES WERE MADE IN THREE SIZES AND EACH HAD A SEPARATE NAME. I AM OFFERING THE RAREST OF THE THREE. THIS WAS THE TOP CRUCHE IN SIZE, DESIGN, PRICE AND IN THIS PARTICULAR CRUCHE, THE ELUSIVE WHITE GLAZE. THIS WHITE GLAZE WAS A MUCH LONGER PROCESS TO PRODUCE. TO MAKE THIS GLAZE THAT DISGUISED THE POTERIE FROM LOOKING UTILITARIAN, IT HAD TO BE MIXED WITH OTHER INGREDIENTS THAT ADDED MORE TIME. IF YOU LOOK AT THE THREE SIZES OF WHICH THIS WAS THE MOST COVETED, REGARD THE TOP HANDLE. IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY, IT IS VERY HIGH AND BENT INTO A PERFECT, SYMMETRIC DESIGN.THE CRUCHE TAPERS DOWN BELOW THE RIM AND OPENS INTO A TREMENDOUS BULBOUS CENTER. QUITE A DESIGN.. A FINE POTTER WAS NEEDED TO DO THE WORK NEEDED TO MAKE THESE SPECIAL CRUCHES . THEY ARE BEYOND STUNNING AND INCREDIBLY RARE TO FIND AT THIS SIZE,AGE AND COLOR. 1800-1950.15 X 9 IN HT.
