Large Pewter Fountain - Toulouse, 18th Century

TABLE FOUNTAIN in pewter, cylindrical in shape with pedestal and spindle lid, fitted with two swinging and molded side rings and a brass tap with bases depicting faun heads. The body is engraved with coats of arms which are “azure with a gold chevron accompanied in chief by two silver shells”.
Control mark on the exterior bottom: crowned CC / 1709 / TOL, (TOL for Tolosa, former name of the city).

TOULOUSE, First half of the 18th century

No research into the attribution of the coat of arms has been undertaken. State of conservation: The bases of the rings, the tap, as well as the spindle of the lid show consolidations, and some refilling Bibliography: “Pewter potters of Ancien Languedoc and Roussillon” by René Richard, who reproduces this type of fountain very characteristic of the production of this production center.
