Please excuse the cheesy title of this post but believe me it could have been much worse. I was initially toying with the idea of going with 'Pitcher This!' and then I though what about 'Nice Jugs!' so you see what I mean!
Anyway, you have probably guessed that the subject of this week's post is pitchers and jugs and here are a few that I have had in the past and some more that are patiently sitting on the shelf of my office waiting for a new home.
The first example is this barbotine (French majolica) pitcher in the form of a duck by the maker St. Clément. I often see them when I'm out and about so I finally gave in and decided to buy one. He was pretty mucky when I found him and he looked a bit unloved so being the former owner of a little duck that looks quite similar (Claude who has moved to the duckpond in our local park in Cognac along with his buddy Jacques) I just couldn't resist.

A real favourite of mine are enamel pitchers and jugs and I buy them whenever I can because they are equally decorative inside the home or out in the garden and have a great shabby-chic/vintage look that's still so popular. This particular one I have kept for myself because there were some pin hole pricks in the side that I missed when I purchased it. Luckily a bit of clear silicone has solved this problem but having found another one in better condition I put that one up for sale in it's place.
This little jug is another example of barbotine and is from the Art Nouveau/Belle Epoque period. At present it is still waiting for a new owner on my Etsy shop.

This little pitcher has beautiful pale duck egg blue enamel and would look great on the table filled with flowers in a country or shaker style kitchen.

This one I sold some time ago. I secretly wanted to keep it after filling it with lilacs and photographing it so I was genuinely sad to see it go!
This last little fellow is from the same maker as the duck (St. Clement) but completely different in style. Modelled as an owl with a lovely bright yellow glaze I don't think it will be long before he finds a new home.
