Characterful Glazed Terracotta Folk Art Rooster - 16¼"

Full of charm and personality, this glazed terracotta rooster captures the warmth and spontaneity of traditional folk art pottery. With its proud stance, expressive features, and generous proportions, the piece has a lively and wonderfully characterful presence. The glossy glaze in rich brown, red, and ochre tones enhances the sculptural modeling and gives the rooster strong decorative appeal. Hand formed with appealing irregularities and naïve charm, it bears a signature beneath the base that appears to read “Galziri” or a similar name. Difficult to date precisely, the piece likely originates from the mid to late 20th century. The rooster remains in good overall condition with minor traces of age and use consistent with its handmade nature.

Both amusing and highly decorative, this delightful folk art rooster would bring rustic charm and a touch of French country spirit to a kitchen, shelf, garden room, or ceramic collection.
