Antique French Creil et Montereau White Ironstone Jug
Antique French Creil et Montereau White Ironstone Jug
This is a lovely example of a medium-sized plain white ironstone shaped jug, made by Creil et Montereau at the very start of the 20th Century.
This bulbous shaped pitcher is such a pretty shape and the perfect size both to put to use in the kitchen but also to have on display as a vase. With simple sculpted details on the handle and under the pouring spout, it is a classic and elegant design.
It is in excellent and largely clean condition for its age, with no cracks or chips. There are a few firing pock marks to the surface, plus a small patch of stained crazing to the handle and odd scuff marks. There are also some patches of mild staining to the inside of the jug.
Height, 13.5cm; Length, 19.5cm (including handle); Width, 17cm (at widest point)
