IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THE PRACTICAL INFORMATION OF THE PIECE AND NOT THE HISTORY… PLEASE SKIP FIRST PARAGRAPH AND SKIP T0 THE SEND PARAGRAPH. THE NAME OF THIS PIECE AS IT IS CALLED BY EXPERTS AND HAS BEENN REFERRED TO AS A GARGOULETTE FOR CENTURIES. IN FRANCE, IF YOU MEET AN’ COLLECTIONNEUR AMATEUR’ OR AN EXPERT WHO KNOWS ALL THE FACTS, HE/SHE WILL CONSTANTLY CORRECT PEOPLE, A GARGOULETTE’ WAS A PIECE USED DAILY AT THE TABLE FOR WATER. THEY WERE USED EVEN BEFORE CRUCHES. THIS FORM MADE ITS WAY FROM NORTHERN AFRICA TO WHAT WAS AT THE TIME. CATALONGE WHICH WAS A PART OF FRANCE. THE NAME OF THE POTERIE THAT WE CALL A GARGOULETTE TODAy, AND EVEN UNINFORMED FRENCH’SELLERS? ARE NOT AWARE THAT THE OFFICIAL WORD IS A’CANTIR (CAN-TAR). WHEN I AT FIRST SAID’GARGOULETTE TO MY ASSOCIATE AND GOOD FRIEND WHO I WORKED WITH, WE WOULD ALWAYS GET CONFUSED BECAUSE I WOULD CALL A ST JEAN DE FOS A’CARAFE. MY ASSOCIATE WOULD CORRECT ME AND SAY’GARGOULETTE. C’ÉTAIT TOUT ÉGAL À MOI. I STARTED CALLING THE PERCEIVED GARGO A CANTIR AND MTY ASSOCIATE/FRIEND AND HIS FATHER , A GREAT EXPERT, WAS PLEASED WITH MY CHANGE. SO THIS GARGOULETTE OF ST JEAN DE FOS IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL EVER. THE JASPE GLAZE IS SIMPLY AMAZING. LATE 18TH C AND YOU CAN TELL FROM THE VIBRANCY OF THE LANGUEDOC SUN THAT GIVES THE JASPE GLAZE A TRANSLUCENT, LUMINOUS QUALITY. THICK GLAZE WITH A CAVALCADE OF COLORS AND THE FORM IS CLASSIC OF THE 18TH C TO THE MID-19TH WHEN IT WAS AT THE ZENITH OF ITS POPULARITY IN FRANCE. THEN THE POTTERS OUTPAED THEMSELVES CREATING MORE AND MORE POTERIES THAT WERE MORE USEFUL AND NOT AS POPULAR. POSSIBLY BECAUSE OF THE NEW PIECES THAT COULD DO SO MUCH MORE AD THE SIMPLE DESIGN BECAME ARCHAIC. THESE POTERIES ARE LOVED BY COLLECTORS I HAVE 9! BECAUSE OF THE OLDER FORMS WHICH WERE USED FOR A SIMPLE CHORE. WHEN IT CAME TO THE’GARGOULETTE’ THERE WAS SIMPLE BAROLET GLAZE DESIGN AND THE ONE I HAVE HERE TO OFFER IS A BEAUTY. BETWEEN 9.5-10 INCHES (THE SIZES FOR THE MOST PART NEVER CHANGED) LOOK AT THE PHOTOS. MUCH WORK APPLIED TO THE WORK ON THI POTERIE WHICH IS RARE. JE VOUS SOUHAITE UN BON ACHAT.
