The warm cream glaze is decorated with a lively frieze of stylized botanical motifs in terracotta, dark brown and green, arranged in a loose rhythm around the upper body. Small areas of glaze loss are visible across the surface, while the rim and interior show more pronounced wear, adding to its antique character. Because of the loss to the interior glaze, the pitcher should now be considered decorative, and a watertight liner is recommended if used as a vase. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eMade for everyday use in modest households, pitchers like this combined sturdy, practical forms with simple but colorful decoration that brought cheer and individuality to ordinary domestic pottery. Its compact proportions and charming painted motif make it easy to display on open shelving, a kitchen dresser or among other regional ceramics, and it can also hold a small bouquet if used with a liner. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExplore our full collection of Savoy pottery \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.chezpluie.com\/collections\/savoy-pottery?_pos=1\u0026amp;_psq=savoy\u0026amp;_psid=25825c4ed\u0026amp;_ss=e\" title=\"Savoy pottery\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age.\u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 5½\" high x 6¼\" long w\/ handle 4¾\" wide \u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 14cm high x 16cm long w\/ handle 12cm wide\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chez Pluie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54535891026258,"sku":"25708","price":495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1166\/6698\/files\/DSC06473_d4d6edc8-8188-4b7b-9cd7-85798a17fc72.jpg?v=1788765301","url":"https:\/\/www.chezpluie.com\/products\/small-savoyard-ceramic-pitcher-w-hand-painted-abstract-frieze-and-worn-patina-51-2","provider":"Chez Pluie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
