Guyot à Marnaz - Handheld cups (4) - Terracotta
We are selling these four glazed terracotta cups. They are quite old (circa 1840) and have been used for 7 generations.
. Their enamel is worn here and there (handles and rims) , but still present and shiny throughout, which is quite rare considering their age.
. No cracks in any of the cups.
. Remarkable balance in their shape and patina.
.
. Save a special place in your home for them.
. Note that a single similar cup (from the same time period and series) is on dis at the Annecy museum in France.
.
. Marnaz pottery, owned for over two centuries by the Guyot family. One of the last Haute-Savoie traditional pottery makers. It closed down in March 2010.
.
. The cups will, of course, be shipped with great care. They will be insured and a signature required upon delivery.
.
. Kind regards.
