Likely produced during the mid 20th century, the cylindrical form and warm honey to terracotta glaze are consistent with grès (stoneware) production from the Berry region of central France.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body was wheel thrown, with subtle throwing rings still visible inside. A pulled handle joins the side and the pouring lip was shaped directly at the rim. The salt fired glaze pools softly across the surface in warm cream and caramel tones, with the natural variations that make old French pottery so appealing. These irregularities are part of what gives old French pottery its warmth and authenticity. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnown in France as a cruche (country pitcher or water jug), this stoneware pitcher feels especially at home in a working kitchen. Whether used to serve water at the table, filled with seasonal flowers from the garden, or styled on open shelving beside cutting boards and linens, it brings an effortless sense of rural French character into a space. A beautiful addition for interiors that appreciate handmade pottery, natural materials, and the quiet elegance of everyday French life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52758129344855,"sku":"CER-077","price":275.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/french-rustic-ceramic-pitcher-with-spout-2.jpg?v=1770657263","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/antique-french-provencal-ceramic-pitcher-with-rustic-glaze-19th-century-style","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
