About the Item

A playful and eye-catching mid-20th century French terracotta pitcher featuring a vibrant marbled glaze and a charming script inscription. Hand-thrown from warm reddish-brown terracotta, the pitcher has a bulbous form with a softly flared spout and generous handle, reflecting its rustic, utilitarian roots. The surface is hand-decorated in the traditional faïence slipware style, with dynamic swirls of earthy brown, ochre, green, and black glazes. Across the front, the words “Les Uravis” are inscribed in raised script — possibly referencing a family name, small village, or artisan mark. The interior is glazed in a soft yellow tone, offering a lovely visual contrast to the expressive marbled exterior. Areas of wear and surface imperfections speak to its age and use, enhancing its authentic charm. Whether used as a creamer, small vase, or decorative accent, this piece is a warm and whimsical example of mid-century French terracotta pottery.
