Production
On the original loan list as 'Saint-Cloud', but acquired as Chantilly. Examined by members of the FPS in 1994, when it was considered not French, not German, and possibly Tournai. The shape is similar to the Chantilly marked jug C.400&A-1909. Examined by Manuela Finaz de Villaine, October 2002, who considered it 'not Chantilly' and perhaps one of the smaller French factories
