Mid-Century small French cruche w/ yellow demi glaze 9"

SKU: 17053

US$214
Dating from the middle of the twentieth century, a charming little cruche with yellow demi glaze from Provence. It features a thick handle overtop and on the side. Note the inside features a dark brown glaze. Note the small black speckles peeking through the yellow glaze giving the effect of little craters on the moon. In earlier times, glazed terracotta ewers like these were used for fetching water from the village fountain for domestic use. This piece would be the perfect addition to an existing collection of pottery or to add a special touch of French to your home.
