VERY CONFUSING IN FRENCH AS THE WORDS ARE INTERCHANGEABLE AS MEANING COLANDER BUT NON… THE EGOUTTOIR WAS MEANT FOR ONLY CLEANING AND DRAINING WATER. FRUIT VEGETABLES WITH THE WATER DRAINING THROUGH THE HOLES. MUCH MORE VARIED AND TOTALLY UTILITARIAN. TO TELL THE TRUTH… YOU COULD USE EITHER FOR BOTH BUT….. THE EGOUTTOIR WAS A MUCH MORE HANDSOME FORM THAT HAD A BIT MORE OF AN ART POPULAIRE RUSTIC DESIGN. A NICE ADDITION IN THE KITCHEN TO ENHANCE… WHEN NOT IN USE. STONGE ON THE SOUTH-WEST COAST OF FRANCE (NEAR BORDEAUX) WAS KNOWN FOR MAKING BREATHTAKING PIECES IN’TERRE VERNISSÉE’ THAT WAS DEFINITELY NOT FOR THE HOME… MORE LIKE THE MUSEUM. WHEN AN UTILITARIAN PIECE WAS MADE IN STONGE… YOU COULD BE GUARANTEED THAT IT WOULD BE SPECIAL. THE GLAZE COLOR OF THIS STUNNING SEA GREEN THAT ONLY SEEMED TO BE FOUND IN PIECES FROM STONGE WAS A MYSTERY. I THINK THEY USED LESS UNDER CLEAR GLAZE AND MORE MINERALS.. BUT A BIT NOT USED FOR GREEN THAT IS JUST MY HYPOTHESIS. THE EGOUTTOIR OF STONGE WAS BASICALLY THE SAME FORM FROM THE 17TH C ON. IT DID EVOLVE THROUGHOUT THE CENTURIES. THIS ONE HERE IS THE EARLY 19TH CENTURY FORM. THI I THE SECOND TO LAST EGOUTTOIR DESIGN AS STONGE CLOSED ITS DOORS (LA CHAPELLE AND SAINTES). THE PIECES BECAME LESS DETAILED AND LESS DETAILED BUT THE STYLE OF THE EARLY 19TH C IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE. THIS GLAZE COLOR DURING THIS PERIOD WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL I HAVE EVER SEEN IN’SEA GREEN’. I LIKE HOE THE HANDLES (ANSE) DROOP A BIT DOWN.. INSTEAD OF ARCHING UP. THEY ADDED 3 SHORT FEET THAT JUST GIVES THIS PIECE A STEP THAT BRINGS IT ALL TOGETHER. I HAVE FOUND FOR MY COLLECTORS THE 18TH, 19TH QAND LATE 19TH C FORMS. I LOVE THEM ALL BUT HISTORY AND COLLECTION NOT WITHSTANDING…. THIS IS MY FAVORITE. RIM WITH THREE LINES IN RELIEF CIRCLING THE RIM. 14.5 INCHES ACROSS. 1.5-2 INCHES HT. BEAUTIFUL SAVOIE MILK POLKA DOT PITCHER IN THE DETAILED CURVED FORM (FORME JURA), INSTEAD OF THE TYPICAL PITCHER. THIS PITCHER WAS FOR WINE BUT HONESTLY… USUAL WEAR AND TEAR AROUND RIM AND A PERFECT CARAMEL GLAZE. CLASSIC POLKA OF THE ISERE.
