Frie Onnaing French Barbotine Majolica Cochon Au Jambon Pig & Ham Water Pitcher
About the Item
A Classic French Barbotine Majolica pig water pitcher made by Frie Onnaing, circa 1921.
Known as the “Cochon au Jambon,” a pig with a ham, the tan colored pig is crowned with an olive green laurel leaf, a burgundy colored ribbon slung across his chest holds a cooked ham on a rope. The handle repeats the laurel leaf pattern in a brighter green. A spoof on taking a pig to market, this piggy takes a cooked ham to market.
This example has exceptional color, made when the Onnaing factory resumed production after WWI, as evidenced by the maker’s mark on the bottom.
Marked with an impressed ‘Frie Onnaing, Made in France’ Mold No. 755

Onnaing
Onnaing earthenware is a ceramic production that developed between 1821 and 1938 in the town of Onnaing, in the Nord department in France. Founded on February 2, 1821, by Ferdinand Louis de Bousies and his brother Charles de Bousies (Viscount of Rouveroy). The Onnaing earthenware factory was initially a new establishment of the Belgian factory in Nimy, intended to circumvent customs duties. From the end of the 19th Century, the Onnaing factory grew to directly employ 500 workers. It benefits from the extension of the rail network, which allows it to both source raw materials and exports its production. The destruction due to World War I strongly affects the factory: ovens, molds, buildings are destroyed. The restart of production in 1921 does not allow it to return to the levels of the beginning of the Century. Demand also evolved and manufacturing ceased in 1938. The factory was definitively liquidated in 1947.
