With its rounded wooden body, sweeping handle, and high, shaped pouring lip, this old late 19th-century French cider broc has a wonderful presence. The dark staves and hand-forged iron bands show the practical craftsmanship behind a vessel made for everyday use. Today, it brings an evocative touch of the French countryside to a kitchen shelf or tabletop. Traditionally used for serving cider, now best used for display.
Condition: Beautiful timeworn, with aged wood, wear to the iron bands, and visible separations between some staves.
Dimensions: 11" W 19 1/2" H
