Antique Savoyard Slip-Decorated Terracotta Milk Pitcher - 6¾"

A Savoyard milk pitcher in glazed earthenware, hand-thrown with a cylindrical body, strap handle, and pinched pouring lip. The surface is decorated with a rhythmic pattern of slip-painted bull’s-eye dots in cream and dark manganese over a warm russet ground, a design that feels strikingly modern. Small splashes and irregularities in the slip enhance the artisanal spontaneity, celebrating the handmade process. The interior is glazed in soft honey tones for practical use. In good, timeworn condition, with small rim chips, gentle glaze wear, and faint traces of soot from hearthside service that enhance its rustic charm and authenticity.

Evoking both rustic charm and artistic flair, this piece bridges folk pottery and modern design sensibility. Perfect as a characterful vase or for holding wooden spoons beside the stove, it also makes an eye-catching accent on a kitchen shelf, whether displayed on its own or among a collection of Savoyard pitchers.
