We have majorly expanded our acquisitions for both personal collections and resale by a large margin. We actively seek early pottery, stoneware, and tin-glazed Western ceramics, all of which I collect, to varying degrees Im particularly interested in early storage jars used for lamp oil, due to having a very extensive collection of pre-1780 lamps, mostly French. I have numerous reference books on French faience. Focusing on the 18. Century & earlier, but the decoration is not particular enough to permit a specific attribution, other than probably Nevers. The fragility of early tin-glazed pottery, fired at low temperatures, is such that few early pilgrim flasks can be found intact they are more often cracked & stapled, or have major chunks broken off the necks but this outstandingly rare and small-sized barrel is above average. Pilgrim flasks were additionally subjected to many years of intensive use the handles (four, on larger flasks) were to pass cords through, for carrying over the shoulder, or on a saddle. In this case, the small size implies that it was probably used for very strong liquor perhaps the potent eau-de-vie. It has a nasty impact hairline crack (see photos), but the overall condition really is exceptional and many pieces of early tin or lead-glazed pottery in European museum collections are in much worse condition. Ive seen very few early faience barrel flasks on the French market, and they are consistently expensive the three other pilgrim flasks in the group photo are part of my collection. The exotic bird-decorated flask is Flemish, not French, and the signature permits it to be dated to right around 1704.

New England Appraisers Association (look under France, or England). As-seen and as described , but above average there are no repairs. Other than the obvious impact crack that has generated exactly one glaze flake (see photo 8 and the crack might be wise to stabilize with an epoxy), there is far less than the usual glaze rubbing on the spout, and one very minor flake to the back of the top.
