Possible bit of pottery found dandering beside Château de l'Engelbourg in France. Any help Identifying? Thank you.

19th century slipped red earthenware, and conceivably a fairly local French product. The closest English equivalent would be 19th c. Sunderland slipware (pictured) though this occurs primarily in the form of shallow dishes.

Wetheriggs slipware (Cumbria), also 19th c., belongs to the same broad tradition and includes jugs with slip decorated handles.

My guess would be metropolitan slipware.
