Mid-20th Century Dieulefit Striking Green-Glazed Terracotta Jug - 8¼"

This handmade mid-twentieth-century pitcher is modeled in terracotta with a soft, simple baluster profile, a gently flared lip, and a contrasting dark brown strap handle. The body is finished in a striking glossy green glaze with subtle tonal shifts that catch the light. While unmarked, this jug likely hails from Dieulefit, the pottery town in northern Provence celebrated for its long tradition of rustic utilitarian wares and mid-century studio production. 

The vivid green glaze with dark brown accents is characteristic of Dieulefit, giving the simple silhouette a vibrant decorative presence rooted in regional style and artisanal savoir-faire. Perfect as a functional water or wine pitcher, it also makes a charming decorative accent on a kitchen shelf or table. Styled with fresh blooms or displayed alongside other green-glazed pottery, it brings authentic Provençal color and warmth to any setting.
