Early 20th-Century Savoy Jaspé Ceramic Pitcher - 7½"

This generously-sized pitcher, likely from Savoie at the beginning of the 20th century, features a simple yet striking jaspé decoration. Its unfussy form is accentuated by a single raised band around the neck, with a small handle and spout that contribute to its rustic yet refined massiveness. The lovely marbled decoration enhances its elegance, while the pale yellow interior glaze is well-preserved.

Originating from the Savoie region, this piece reflects the local tradition of crafting pottery with unique and artistic glazes, characteristic of the area's early 20th-century artisanship. The practice of jaspé decoration, which involves swirling different colored clays or glazes, adds a layer of visual interest that remain prized by collectors and enthousiasts.

In a contemporary setting, this pitcher can be a charming centerpiece on a rustic dining table or sideboard. Its earthy tones and artistic marbling can complement a variety of décor styles, adding a touch of historic charm and visual interest. Whether used as a functional pitcher or a decorative object, it brings a touch of Savoie’s rich ceramic heritage into any home.
