Green enameled stoneware
H. 31 cm
Gargoulette, circa 1900-1920, with graceful curves in a deep and translucent green with very beautiful iridescence. The gargoulette is a type of everyday ceramic for carrying water, with a handle, a lid, and a small spout, normally in enameled stoneware. The painter Jean Chaléyé (1878-1960), born in Saint-Étienne, trained in Lyon, and settled in Puy-en-Velay, often used such a green gargoulette in his still lifes of flowers. Such gargoulettes were probably made in the 19th century until the 1920s, in a ceramic factory perhaps in Le Puy or the surrounding area.
