Gargoulette

An Arab vase, or water-cooler, with one handle, furnished with a spout adapted for drinking through. The piece in the illustration is from the Arabian potteries of Maghreb in Africa. This pottery is described by M. Jacquemart as “covered with a pinkish grey enamel of rose colour, and heightened by a polychrome decoration in zones, generally consisting of bands of scrolls, flowers, denticulations, rosettes, .; where citron, yellow, manganese brown, green, and blue form the most charming harmony.” IMG:6949005855195395773_fig_347.jpg: Fig. 347.
