About the Item

When dairy farmers traveled to the market, they would use large metal jugs, such as this cast iron milk container, to sell milk to local customers. The cast iron has been stamped on the side wall with “SLM”, which is the production mark of a Swiss company known as Société laitière Maggi (Maggi Dairy Company). In the early 20th century, SLM had a strong presence in northern France and Belgium, as the company founder, Julius Maggi, moved to Paris in 1902. A versatile item, you can use the cast iron milk container as a decorative kitchen accessory with the lid on or hanging to the side, as it is chained to one of the large ears. It would also make a unique umbrella holder or flower vase.

Circa 1800 French Copper 2-Handled Vase with Chariot and Cartouche

Located in Dallas, TX

Hand-worked circa 1800, this French vase is adorned with a chariot and cartouche scene. Some of the elements were hammered from the front side, in a metalworking technique known as chasing, while other motifs were worked from the verso side, which is known as repousse. It is not uncommon for the two methods to be used in tandem, and the work of this particular artisan is top notch. The 5 ¾ diameter opening is flanked by two flared out handles that terminate on the widest part of the main body. A flowing foliate margent (repousse) adorns the top of the body, beneath the lightly textured thick neck (chased). The leaf theme continues beneath a thin ring of roundels that frames the upper body, with a sprawling foliage display that wraps around the lower body, interrupted by a pair of cartouches. One scene depicts a man in a toga with a laurel wreath crown...

A small pithos (a Greek storage container), this terra cotta jar has well-balanced proportions, with a thin protruding ring just above the widest part of the body. The opening has a lightly rolled rim, adding to the rounded form of the jar.

The variegated color enhances the character of this small jar that was once used to store oil or grains. Dating to the early 1900s, our Greek terra cotta...
