About the Item

This 19th-century French Tian bowl is a classic example of rustic Provençal pottery, once an essential kitchen vessel in southern France. Handcrafted from terracotta, the bowl features a wide, shallow form with sloping sides and sturdy loop handles, designed for mixing, washing, or preparing food. The interior is finished with a rich yellow glaze, chosen not only for its beauty but also for its practical function of sealing the clay and making it easier to clean. The exterior remains largely unglazed, showcasing the natural earthen tones and surface patina that speak to decades of use. With its generous size and authentic wear, this antique Tian is as decorative as it is historical, perfect for displaying fruit, serving as a table centerpiece, or admired purely as a sculptural object.
