{"product_id":"beautifully-stained-h-b-cie-footed-bowl","title":"Antique French Faïence Bowl | HB et Cie Choisy-le-Roi | Early 20th Century","description":"\u003cp\u003eA charming antique French faïence bowl marked on the underside for HB et Cie of Choisy-le-Roi, likely dating to the early 20th century. The warm jaspé (mottled glaze) finish in deep brown tones, paired with a bright ochre band at the rim, gives the piece the earthy character so associated with French country pottery of the period... but this is a unique bowl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJaspé and spongé glazes are normally associated with regional French country pottery, not normally seen from a faïencerie like Choisy-le-Roi. This may be a transition piece from one of the experimental periods of HB \u0026amp; Cie. It is uncommon to see this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bowl stands on a small turned pedestal foot and is fitted with two molded side handles in a stylized leaf form. Incised bands accented with red and black wrap the body and foot, while the softly speckled glaze continues across the interior. The proportions are especially pleasing, simple, balanced, and easy to place throughout the home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerfect beside the stove filled with sea salt, on the table with olives at apéro, or styled on open shelving among stoneware and copper, this antique Choisy-le-Roi bowl brings a quiet sense of French farmhouse warmth wherever it lands.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52641247494487,"sku":"FAI-030","price":412.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/vintage-hb-cie-choisy-le-roi-ceramic-bowl-2.jpg?v=1769435445","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/beautifully-stained-h-b-cie-footed-bowl","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
