Free shipping for mainland France

************************

Pewter PITCHER in the shape of a baluster with a pedestal, a straight heeled goblet, a raised lid with a flat roof and a small terrace, fitted with a thumb with two buds.
Control mark: CC crowned / 1709 / TOL (for Tolosa).
Height: 21.7 cm.
TOULOUSE, First half of the 18th century.

Elegant example of rare provenance in very good condition.
This raised lid with a flat roof is of medieval inspiration; Toulouse is the only center to have preserved this typology in the 18th century. These pitchers were the wine measures of the Ancien Régime. The capacity of those used in inns, drinking establishments, etc., had to be checked periodically by the royal or ecclesiastical power to ensure "good measure" for the consumer. In Toulouse, the regulations of the edict of Louis XIV of 1691 relating to the control mark were not respected and we only know the years of 1691, 1695, 1699, 1700 and 1709. The latter, in the absence of a master's mark, therefore does not allow us to precisely date the objects which bear it.
