THE CRUCHE WAS FOR POURING WATER AT DINNER. EACH REGION HAD ITS OWN DESIGN BUT THE CRUCHE OF PROVENCE WITH ITS TWO HANDLES, ONE USED AS A SPOUT, WAS CONSIDERED THE MOST INNOVATIVE CRUCHE. AS THESE VESSELS WERE VERY HEAVY WHEN FILLED WITH WATER… MUCH EASIER DOING IT THAT WAY. THIS CRUCHE FORM IS CALLED’MARSEILLAS’ AS IT WAS CREATED IN A POTTERY ATELIER OUTSIDE OF MARSEILLE IN AUBAGNE. IT WAS ONLY MADE WHEN ASKED’TO ORDER’. THIS GREEN GLAZE IS THICK AND BEYOND BEAUTIFUL. 10 INCHES IN HT.
