{"product_id":"french-handmade-brown-glazed-earthenware-jug-rustic","title":"19th Century French Pichet | Glazed Earthenware | Rustic Half Dipped","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis antique French pichet (country pitcher) has exactly the kind of simple shape that old farmhouse pottery embodies. Small, useful, and easy in the hand, with that squat rounded body that tells you it was made by someone who had thrown thousands of them before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe deep brown glaze across the upper body runs naturally into the bare terracotta below, while the inside keeps a soft cream ochre yellow glaze. Likely fired to life in the late 19th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pinched pouring lip, loop handle, and throwing lines are all still there to see. Nothing hidden, nothing overly refined. Around the rim, the glaze has worn back to the clay in places from years of handling, and the brown surface has softened into the kind of finish only real age creates. The glaze is beautiful on this one without trying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the sort of little French pottery piece that just settles into a room naturally. A few stems of lavender, some wooden spoons, or a little table wine beside bread and cheese on the counter. You can feel that it spent a long time being useful before anyone thought to use it for decor. It's just lovely.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52394937418071,"sku":"CER-030","price":250.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/french-handmade-brown-glazed-earthenware-jug-rustic-2.jpg?v=1766332827","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/french-handmade-brown-glazed-earthenware-jug-rustic","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
