W3R Commemorative Stoneware
The Alliance Française of Northwestern Connecticut (afnwct@snet.net) offers for sale stoneware
bowls to commemorate the 225th anniversary of the 1781
Washington-Rochambeau March to Victory at Yorktown. A classic ;piece and symbol of
French-American friendship, they are a fine gift to offer history buffs or
French friends.
Produced by Boston Pot & Tile of
Woodbury, CT, the wide-rimmed bowls are stamped with motifs from the
Revolutionary War uniform buttons: one French and one American. The French stamp was made from a button
actually found along the Connecticut route where the 22nd Battalion
of Soissonais is known to have encamped.
The bowls are non-porous and
food-dishwasher-safe though not recommended for use in microwave ovens. They
are 7” in diameter and 1 ½” high with holes in the foot through which a wire
can be inserted for hanging.
To purchase, send checks for $31 ($25 + $6 shipping) to the Alliance Française
of Northwestern Connecticut, Inc. P.O.
Box 31 Woodbury, Connecticut 06798-0031.
A maximum of two bowls per shipment.
All proceeds from the sale of the
bowls will go to the promotion of the French language and culture and
French-American friendship.
