******************************
Rare very small baluster-shaped alcohol PITCHER in pewter with oblique pedestal, flared throat and stick thumb.
Control hallmark affixed to the inside of the foot: CC crowned / 61 / R. (CC for Etain Commun, 61 for 1761 and R for ROUEN)
Height: 9.8 cm.
ROUEN, From the year 1761
We know of the existence of the vintage control 1762, which allows us to date this pitcher precisely. In Rouen, the regulations on the control hallmark were fairly well respected and their vintages updated. This often allows us to date precisely the objects that bear it
In very good condition
Generally speaking, pitchers were the wine measures of the Ancien Régime but these very small gauges were used for alcohol.
