The exterior shows a warm ochre to terracotta ground enlivened by slip-trailing in green and black, punctuated with small cream dots arranged as zigzags and vertical dashes, while the interior carries a soft honey-yellow glaze. Early 20th century, Savoie, France.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eRooted in the regional tradition of terre vernissée, this type of pitcher was made in village workshops across Savoie for everyday service at the table and hearth. Slip-trailed motifs in copper green and manganese black over an ochre ground were favored from the late 19th into the early 20th century, reflecting a rustic Alpine aesthetic and practical savoir-faire. The straightforward cylindrical body and sturdy handle speak to utility, while the lively, raised decoration adds the quietly graphic character typical of Savoyard pottery.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIn a contemporary setting it offers a rustic note of color and texture. Display it on open kitchen shelving with other French terre vernissée and faïence, or place it on a dining console as a simple bud vase for wildflowers. It also works on a desk or dresser holding utensils or brushes, bringing a modest, authentic Alpine accent to traditional, country, or pared-back modern rooms. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition and wear consistent with age and use.\u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 4¼\" high x 5½\" wide x 4\" deep \u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 11cm high x 14cm wide x 10cm deep\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chez Pluie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53961378169170,"sku":"24951","price":450.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1166\/6698\/files\/DSC09022_1a4ab59a-600c-4085-bbd9-1ade51644bae.jpg?v=1783597789","url":"https:\/\/www.chezpluie.com\/products\/antique-terracotta-pitcher-from-savoy-with-ocher-glaze-41-4","provider":"Chez Pluie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
