Antique “SYRUP ABSINTH” French Faience Pottery Bar Pitcher Mid 19thC Apothecary

I SHIP WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS AND ANSWER MESSAGES M-F ONLY. I AM UNABLE TO OFFER COMBINED SHIPPING, HOWEVER- FOR MULTIPLE WINS I OFFER GENEROUS SHIPPING DISCOUNTS! This 99¢ opening bid, NO RESERVE auction listing features the estate found authentic ca.1840s-1860s French faience pottery “Syrup of Absinth” bar apothecary pitcher. Displays early 19th century spelling: without the “E” at the end. Some collectors consider this pottery style majolica. I believe faience is more accurate. Whatever. The lid is missing. The spout has been blocked with plaster. Unless you drill a hole (easy) this remains an ultra rare display piece for the advanced home bar. This item would be even better displayed at a public drinking establishment, on the lighted glass shelf behind the bartender. Once absinthe is consumed, the green fairy would entice the happy soul to pay dearly for this very scarce example of the, until very recently, illegal beverage. Approx. 7.5″ tall, 5″ diameter, and from the end of the spout to the end of the handle the measurement is approx. 8.5″. The hard to spot repairs are: spout and handle. Enlarge the pictures to see the last picture showing the spout base repair (where it attaches to the body). Estate found, fully guarantee as antique, authentic, and as described. Shipping may be USPS Priority or First Class with insurance plus a possible signature requirement. A bid means agreement to this shipping rule. No exceptions please. Thank you. Thanks for looking.
