Sarreguemines French Majolica Laughing Sow Absinthe Water Pitcher
About the Item
From Sarreguemines, a French Majolica pig pitcher known as True Rieuse, or the Laughing Sow, date marked 1904.
This Barbotine majolica pitcher was made to be used for pouring water over a sugar cube in the Absinthe drinking ritual.
The pig is glazed in a creamy pale yellow with burgundy red colored accents on the ears and snout. The eyes are finished in white with small, round black pupils looking upward.
A single hole for the spout, indicating it was intended for Absinthe. Later examples of this mold will show two holes for the spout.
A beautiful turquoise blue interior.
