The Sarreguemines factory, established in Lorraine in 1790, supplied households across France with affordable, hardwearing glazed wares, and small crocks like this one -- called a pot de conservation in French -- were indispensable for storing fats, preserves and condiments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe form is clean and confident: a stout cylindrical body rising to a neatly turned, slightly flared rim with a shallow molded groove just below the lip. The interior and exterior carry a warm ivory-white glaze that has taken on a soft, creamy tone with age. The classic crazing visible across the surface and bottom is characteristic of period Sarreguemines production and adds an honest depth to the finish. At home on a kitchen shelf, a marble countertop or grouped with other French country ceramics, the piece works equally well holding a few wooden spoons, dried herbs or simply standing on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age. Light surface crazing throughout the glaze, with some natural darkening in the craze lines from long use, as clearly visible in the photos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApprox. 4.9 in wide x 3.5 in high (12.5 x 9 cm).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e95% of my items are tariff-free to the US.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- fmf-shopify --\u003e","brand":"Fleamarketfrance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59088062710104,"sku":"FMF-ESCJZ5J7","price":159.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0895\/5776\/2392\/files\/d9839d1977b938fa7915f3f620c03938.jpg?v=1794318333","url":"https:\/\/fleamarketfrance.com\/products\/antique-french-stoneware-crock-sarreguemines-10112618","provider":"Fleamarketfrance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
