The squared body has softened corners, rounded shoulders, a short neck with stepped lid, and small ribbed handles framing the collar. The front is centred by a circular glazed reserve, with the original lower opening for a small tap or cork, now absent. Fired in stoneware with a warm tobacco-brown glaze, the surface shows iron speckling, kiln variation, and the handmade character of Digan's work. Very good vintage condition with light wear consistent with age and use, felt pads have been added under the base and could be easily removed if desired.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePierre Digan (1923–2020) was a key figure in the postwar revival of La Borne ceramics, known for robust forms, honest materials, and glazes shaped by the kiln. Working within La Borne's long stoneware tradition, he created pieces that balanced utility and sculpture, drawing inspiration from rural pottery while embracing the aesthetics of modern studio ceramics.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eOriginally made for storing and dispensing vinegar, this piece transforms a humble household vessel into a sculptural object with quiet strength. Its earthy palette and architectural form bring warmth, texture, and artisanal presence to a kitchen, pantry, or living space. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age.\u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 11¾\" high x 8\" x 8\" \u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 30cm high x 20cm x 20cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chez Pluie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53728870596946,"sku":"24740","price":595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1166\/6698\/files\/DSC06503_efa36651-48ce-482d-abae-4d5ad5009948.jpg?v=1781271129","url":"https:\/\/www.chezpluie.com\/products\/pierre-digan-studio-stoneware-vinegar-jar-la-borne-c-1960-113-4","provider":"Chez Pluie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
