| Stork Pitcher | |
) |
) |
| A majolica water pitcher made
by Keller & Guerin at their factory in Saint Clement in the shape of
a Marabou stork. The extremely small hole in the beak (only about two
millimeters in diameter) indicates that this pitcher was probably made
primarily for use with absinthe, as does the fact that examples are
recorded with the brand mark Absinthe Oxygenee. Later versions of this
same pitcher carried publicity for Anis Amourette, an absinthe-like
substitute made by Pernod-Hemard in the 1920's. This example is in unusually
fine condition and dates from around 1890.
Recent research indicates that these types of figural pitchers, characterised by an extremely small spout, were intended for use with absinthe. Keller & Guerin made several different types at St Clement, as did the majolica works at Sarreguemines. |
