Salt glaze cobalt blue creamer with lid - Vintage Schmitter Betschdorf

Schmitter Betschdorf Salt glaze cobalt blue creamer with lid. Early rare piece from the Schmitter pottery in the village of Betschdorf. A 7 generation family business producing Alsatian salt stoneware since 1844. The firing process gives all its authenticity with the salt vitrification making the pieces waterproof and unalterable. In excellent condition with handle, original lid with cut out for spoon, and signature on base. Bought in France a number of year ago. A perfect Christmas present
