    Description

    Vintage Figural Wine Pitcher, marked 393A, 10 1/4” tall. Excellent example of Flemish art. See photos for excellent vintage condition. Flemish Pottery (information is more commonly found under “Vlaams Aardewerk” in Flemish, or “Poterie Flamande” in French) date back over a thousand years. Bruge was a major center of export. The pottery is a lead-glaze earthenware and is used for household items as well as decorative figures. Note, the lead-glaze is toxic if ingested, but an acceptable substitute that preserves the brilliant colors has not been found. Bruges is known for the ‘Flame method’ glaze, in which colors are painted onto the slip, and form ‘flames’ as they run during firing. Flemish pottery is primarily made in Vlaanderen, the northern part of Belgium in small potteries, often family businesses, includes vases, jars, candlesticks, wall pieces, and other traditional forms, age Figural Flemish Wine Pitcher.
