Home > Country French > Cassonade Pottery Canister
  
This lovely antique pottery canister is one of a set of twelve we are selling. The canister is decorated with a blue transfer design and hand labeled. The set was made by Boch Freres Keramis (Belgium) c. 1880-1890 and was probably used in a shop. Each canister measures 8 inches high, 4 1/2 inches wide at the top and bottom, and 6 inches at the widest in the middle. This canister is labeled "Cassonade", the best translation I could make of this was "moist sugar" whatever that might be (it is not brown sugar or honey or molasses....). There is discoloration and crazing on the canister and lid. We did not try to restore the color as we felt this gave the piece age and character. Click on photo for more detail.
