About the Item

French Hand-Painted Faience Terrine – Rustic Provençal Style – Bird & Botanical Motifs – 19th-Century Tradition Description: This is a charming French faience terrine, hand-painted in a rustic or Provençal style, likely inspired by traditional Moustiers or Quimper craftsmanship. It features a rounded form with a domed lid, crowned by a stylized fruit-shaped knob—evoking a lemon or apple—painted in yellow and green. The body and lid are richly adorned with: Botanical motifs: green foliage and stylized black fruits Geometric patterns: vertical red, blue, and yellow stripes framing the decorative panels Animal motif: a painted bird medallion on the front, in tones of blue, red, and black, perched on a branch Hand-painted cobalt blue side handles, small and curved The color palette reflects the best of southern French faience: cobalt blue, olive green, ocre yellow, and warm red tones. The glaze features fine craquelure, characteristic of age and traditional kiln firing, adding to the object's authenticity and charm. This piece is not only functional as a serving terrine, but also decorative—a perfect accent in country kitchens, traditional interiors, or rustic-inspired settings.
