French Antique Pottery Pitcher Green Blue Majolica Beer Sarreguemines Figural

Fabulous French majolica beer pitcher. The exterior glaze is a deep olive green, and the interior is robin's egg blue. Wonderful relief pottery. It is signed on the bottom - impressed marks: Sarreguemines, G39 and a few very small marks. It is in lovely condition - no chips or cracks. There is crazing all over with light staining on the interior. There are a few glaze flakes - all 3 noses of the boys, a larger flake on the knee of the boy under the spout, a few tiny ones on the top lip and bottom edge. All are shallow. There is a spot of thin glaze on the bottom edge (9th photo) and a small firing crack just under the handle. Otherwise, this pitcher has been well cared for over the last century. Size: 5 1/2"d (base) X 8 3/4"h X 6 11/16"w (spout to handle)
