WROCLAW (Region of) (Poland), Second half of the 18th century

Very good condition
The potters entrusted the manufacture of strappings and covers to pewter potters, generally local, who often affixed their marks to them. The latter thus helps to confirm the place and the dating of the potter's activity.
