PEZENAS or MONTPELLIER, Early 18th century

In good condition, solid cast iron.
Bibliography: "Pewter potters of the Old Languedoc and Roussillon" by René Richard

Discussion: An Antoine MALPLACH received master in Montpellier around 1644 is cited by René Richard in the work cited above. This author does not mention this Guillaume, probably a relative (son?) of Antoine. The hallmark of Antoine Brouilhet associated here with the previous one attests in all likelihood to a transfer of workshop from one to the other.
