8821: inquiry regarding French colonial jarres

[Bob Corbett <corbetre@webster.edu>]

From: RidgeArt@aol.com

I am looking for interesting stories connected to the 18th and 19th
century 
French jarres that were used to ship provisions to Haiti during the
colonial 
period and possibly after that. I understand that some were buried in the 
ground by the French to hide valuables when the slave uprisings started.
I'm 
sure there must be other stories. Also, can anyone provide me with 
information on where the jarres were originally made?

Please reply to me directly at ridgeart@aol.com.

Many thanks!
