Barrel-Shaped Jug with a Fox and a Rooster
This thin-walled barrel-shaped jug is decorated with a jaunty cockerel on one side and a goose-stepping fox on the other. A looped and upright tail bring further whimsy to the fox. The Saintonge region of southwestern France enjoyed a long history of pottery making. Large numbers of these jugs were exported to London in association with the wine trade.
