19th Century Green Glazed Shepherd's Lunch Holder Pottery with Bowls and Handle

A French pottery shepherd's lunch holder from the 19th century with green glaze, two bowls and large handle. Crafted with a rich green glaze, it exudes a sense of rural authenticity, perhaps hailing from the picturesque region of Normandy. Its design is both ingenious and straightforward: two bowls of different sizes are thoughtfully interconnected through a generously sized handle. This clever arrangement allowed shepherds and laborers to transport their midday meals to the fields or markets with ease and efficiency. Each chip, crack, and patina mark on the pottery is a testament to its utilitarian history, adding a layer of authenticity and charm that's increasingly rare in our modern world.
