About the Item
The inscription engraved on the gilded medallion in the center of the plinth serves as the name of this remarkable sculpture, La Cruche Casee (The Broken Jug). Made of multicolored patinated and ormolu bronze in the second half of the 19th century France, this absolutely fabulous stationary figural candle holder was probably intended to embellish a gentleman's desk, judging by the plot of the depicted scene - a beautiful young girl came to the fountain to get water, but in a day-dreaming state did not even notice, as one of her pitchers fell to the ground and got smashed.
