EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing pottery piece, known as a "Pot a Surprise" or "Puzzle Jug," hails from the picturesque village of Savignies in the Oise region of France. Dating back to the 18th century, this hand-finished jug is a testament to the rich history of French and foreign glazed pottery. The Pot a Surprise is a unique and playful variation of the traditional jug, featuring hidden handles and a concealed spout. The handles, which appear to be integrated into the body of the jug, are actually removable, revealing the spout when detached. This clever design adds an element of surprise and intrigue, making the Pot a Surprise a popular collectible and conversation starter. This particular depiction of the Pot a Surprise is a hand-finished chromolithograph from the "General History of Ancient French and Foreign Glazed Pottery" by Ris Paquet, published in Paris in 1874. Chromolithography is a printing technique that uses multiple lithographic stones, each coated with a different color, to create a vivid and detailed image. The result is a stunning representation of the Pot a Surprise, showcasing its intricate details and the beauty of its glazed porcelain finish. The Pot a Surprise from Savignies is not only a beautiful work of art but also a fascinating piece of history, reflecting the creativity and craftsmanship of the artisans of the past. Its enduring appeal continues to captivate collectors and admirers alike, making it a cherished addition to any collection of antique pottery.
