The history of this jug:
This jug was given to a Ricard employee in 1996 on the occasion of his retirement after 43 years of service.
A gift from his colleagues, it has a deliberately erased stamp on the reverse ("céramique RICARD" originally).
Authentic piece -
A handwritten letter from the collector's family attesting to this will be given to the buyer.
The RICARD company was founded in Marseilles in July 1932 by Paul RICARD, who was 23 years old and had a passion for art. He started out in the wine trade. He met Mr Espanet, a former hairdresser who had become a distiller. Mr Espanet entrusted him with the recipe for his 60° pastis, which he made himself using distillers' spirit, fennel and various herbs. It was then that Paul Ricard decided to create his own pastis.
The Ricard empire was born.
Paul Ricard died on 7 November 1997 in Signes. He now rests on the island of Les Embiez facing the open sea.
