French Faience Rouge Pot

One almost complete tin-glazed ointment/rouge pot. Much of the ointment pot is heavily encrusted with debris and cementitious material. Pot is also burned and parts are discolored from fire damage. It is most likely French in origin. The interior depth of the vessel is rather shallow and would not have held much product.
