About the Item
Superb and rare earthenware Dourne Quercy water jug with comb decorations. Painted in the antique style with Kaolin clay. France late 1800s.
Dimensions in cm ( H x D ) : 29 x 42.5
Secure shipping.
The dourne is part of the family of head jugs intended to hold domestic water. Its shape is very large and not very open. It has a tubular spout and one or more flat handles. The Quercy dourne has four handles.
Its thin walls made it light and favored perspiration to refresh the water. The user would pierce a hole in the side. With a wooden peg, this opening allowed water to flow on demand over the sink stone.
The decoration with very white kaolin slip is called "au peigne".
The kaolin used was taken from Montamel, 4 km from Uzech.
This jug was worn on the head and was used in village festivals for girls' races and bourrées danced by both sexes, without being held back with the hands.
