Product description
With its generous silhouette and deep brown color, this large pitcher possesses all the charm of mid-20th century French utilitarian ceramics, from a time when everyday objects still knew how to combine simplicity, robustness, and the beauty of their materials. The widely rounded body rests on a small foot and rises to a narrower neck, finished with a broadly formed pouring spout. A large curved handle complements the silhouette and gives the entire piece a beautiful balance. The contrast between the glossy brown glaze on the exterior and the cream enamel on the interior brings a lot of warmth to the piece. A few turned lines discreetly punctuate the belly and the neck. Nothing showy here, but a solid, almost rustic form, which derives all its strength precisely from this sobriety. Dating from the 1950s-1970s, this pitcher belongs to that generation of ceramics designed for daily use, which are now being rediscovered for their formidable decorative power. At approximately 20 cm in height, it certainly doesn't go unnoticed. While it can naturally be returned to its function as a pitcher, it takes on an entirely different character when filled with a generous bouquet of wildflowers, a few eucalyptus branches, or simply placed alone on a large wooden table. Very good general condition, with the slight irregularities and traces of time that accompany its history.
