Hand-thrown stoneware always bears the mark of its making. The horizontal striations left by the potter's fingers run across the body, light, almost imperceptible, and give the surface that lively texture which industrial pieces cannot reproduce. The sandy beige glaze, speckled with brown dots, covers the whole with a warm, matte tone. It lightens towards the neck, where the firing process affected the glaze differently. The interior features a smoother, slightly cream-colored glaze. The form is straightforward. A cylindrical body slightly flared towards the bottom, a narrowed neck with a pinched rim forming the pouring spout, and an applied handle with a round cross-section. Nothing superfluous. Its silhouette is defined solely by its proportions. Height 13 cm, interior neck diameter approximately 7 cm. Studio work from the 1960s-1980s, in the tradition of post-war French utilitarian ceramics. Some traces of use bear witness to its history. The photographs allow for a precise appreciation of its condition.
