Small Savoyard Ceramic Pitcher w/ Colorful Geometric Decoration - 6¼"

This small Savoyard ceramic pitcher dates from the early 20th century and has a simple cylindrical form, with a loop handle and a neatly hand-pinched spout characteristic of Savoie pitchers. Its warm cream glaze is decorated with a rhythmic geometric frieze of green dots, fine rust-red lines and small dark accents, giving the piece a lively but well-balanced appearance. Small areas of glaze loss are visible around the rim and base, consistent with age and use, while the interior glaze remains in very good condition.

Made for everyday use in modest households, pitchers like this were valued for their sturdy, practical forms, while simple but colorful painted motifs brought cheer and individuality to an otherwise utilitarian object. Thanks to the well-preserved interior glaze, it can still be used at the table or as a vase for a small arrangement of flowers.
