Early 20th Century French Glazed Terracotta Miniature Pitcher

About the Item

A petite and charming French terracotta pitcher dating to the early 20th century, featuring a warm amber glaze and hand-applied slip decoration in green, white, and deep brown. Measuring just 4.5 inches wide, this small-scale vessel was likely used for serving cream, milk, or vinaigrette at the table, embodying the practical beauty of rural French pottery. The rounded form, delicate spout, and single-loop handle are both functional and decorative. The surface is adorned with stylized floral or scroll-like motifs, rendered in slip and applied freely by hand—giving the piece a playful, one-of-a-kind character. The glaze has developed a soft patina with minor wear, adding to its rustic charm. Perfect as a decorative accent in a kitchen or shelf vignette, or as part of a collection of French provincial ceramics.
