Dating from the early twentieth-century, these two 'cruches' or water pitchers are most likely from Castelnaudary. Note the tricolor finish - unglazed red terracotta, a beige undercoat and ocher to the handles rim and inside. Water cruches like these were used to fetch water from the village fountain and bring back home for cooking, drinking and cleaning.
