19th Century French Pot d'Aisance en Terre Vernisse or Glazed Clay Chamber Pot

About the Item

A rare and colorful early 19th century French pot d'aisance en terre vernisse or glazed terracotta chamber pot hand made in the South of France, circa early 1800s. Having a wide rim, tapered base and "D" handles, this antique French utilitarian pot, featuring a pale yellow glaze with splashes of green, served an important but humble purpose in the days before indoor plumbing. Chamber pots were often given as a wedding gift in France as they were supposed to bring luck to the newlyweds. Used alone or in a group, it's a beautifully decorative piece that will be a wonderful addition to any pottery collection. Perfect for use as a vase, utensil holder, or a planter.

20th Century Spanish Catalan Black Clay Botijo or Water Jug from Verdu, Signed
Located in Birmingham, AL
An early 20th century barro negro or black clay botijo, hand made and signed ROCA CAUS VERDU on the handle, by the famed pottery company, Roca Caus, in the village of Verdú in the Catalan region of Spain, circa 1900. This beautiful utilitarian pot, with its wide belly, top handle, and one mouth where it's filled and one mouth called a pitón or pitorro to drink from, is a traditional porous clay Spanish vessel originally designed to contain water. The botijo is a typical element of Spanish culture and can be found in nearly every rural town and varies in shape, color, and material depending on the area. The Verdú jugs are known for their ability to keep water cool and very fresh because of their porosity. The expression "they always cry" is well known. Today, this antique clay jug can be used as a vase, stand alone conversation piece, or grouped with other pieces of blackware on a table, shelf or kitchen counter. Beautifully decorative, it will be a wonderful addition to any collection. Each piece is a unique work of art, and its dusky matte patina only adds to its overall character and charm.
