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 $16 ($10 + $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.
