About the Item

A pair of very unusual and charming earthenware 'Chevrette' cruches, or water pitchers, beautifully hand-painted with fantastical animal imagery in vivid blue and white. Commonly used for transporting drinking water by agricultural workers, the design of these particular chevrettes seems very much inspired by the iconic Chinese 'moonflask', with its circular body and flattened sides. As with all chevrette pitchers, the carrying handle and two spouts on the upper rims of the containers are placed in alignment – one spout for drinking from, and one larger one for refilling. There would originally have been a cork or stopper in the larger one, to prevent spillage.
