This white earthenware chamber pot is a piece from the Digoin & Sarreguemines factory, one of the most important French ceramic manufacturers, whose marking on the bottom certainly attests to its origin. The shape is classic and well-proportioned. Its bulging body rests on a stable annular foot. The flared rim forms a wide horizontal collar, characteristic of the factory's hygienic productions. The round, solidly attached handle elegantly completes the silhouette. The shiny ivory-white glaze is uniform and without decoration. It is the plain white model, the most understated and timeless in the range, the one found in bourgeois interiors of the first half of the 20th century. The "Digoin & Sarreguemines France" mark with a coat of arms allows the piece to be dated between approximately 1875 and 1950, the period when this stamp was used. The piece is in very good condition, with intact interior and exterior glazes. Inner diameter approximately 20 cm, height approximately 14 cm. Today collected and repurposed from its original use, this chamber pot naturally finds its place as a generous cachepot, a vase for branches, or a collector's item. Its milky whiteness and ample form blend equally well with a country interior or a minimalist contemporary decoration.
