This is an amazing find and a wonderful bowl from the late 1700s to early 1800s... and that is why it feel so amazing in any room. The mustard yellow color contrasting against the apple green scalloped rim and hand-painted flower at the center give it a bold, direct feeling of early southern French country pottery. It feels aged, expressive and completely alive.
This terre vernissée bowl, or glazed earthenware bowl, was wheel thrown in the South of France and likely dates from the late 18th to early 19th century. The decoration is wonderfully handmade, with a simple floral motif, green leaves and a warm finish that only comes with age.
The surface carries the age well with glaze loss along the rim, darkened terracotta, wear from use and an old stable hairline running down from the edge. Set on a sideboard, kitchen shelf or among old wood and pewter... it brings the kind of early French pottery character that only is found in a few pieces that are remaining.
