Each is drawn up into a pinched pouring lip above a full loop handle, the body covered in the fine dotted relief and orange-peel surface that salt firing gives, banded in cobalt at the collar and foot with a brushed cobalt leaf running around the belly. None has chips or cracks; one carries a deeper staining and crazing at the collar that gives it the most character of the three.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSalt glaze is made by throwing salt into the kiln at around 1250 degrees, where it vitrifies the surface without any glaze being applied. The bases are unmarked. Found on the German side of the border near Alsace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree together make a grouping rather than an object, and they take field flowers, kitchen tools or nothing at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition and wear consistent with age and use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eApprox. each 5½\" high x 4¾\" wide including handle\u003cbr\u003eApprox. each 14cm high x 12cm wide including handle\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping to the United States:\u003c\/strong\u003e the price you see includes all import duties and tariffs.
