Sonny, all,
indeed it is an old industrial sized press, we name it "pressoir":

As for maiden, their use was discarded as the cheese perfumed wine did not sell
well....
A la tienne!

Clearly a press, but I always thought they had jubilees maidens stomping the
grapes with bare feet.

Good Morning, all ...
I am a little late getting around to this... it's been a hectic week.

It has not always been a flower pot. But what it could have been?
My guess would be a grape press, for making wine. If it's not that, I'm
confused!

The photo of your friend was taken in some very interesting light. From
the background, I'd say very late in the day, yet he looks to be in
brilliant sun. Either way, a most interesting face with lots of character.
Thanks for sharing these.
David.
