Large Vintage Cliousclat Casserole w/ Original Lid

This impressive and weighty casserole originates from Cliousclat, a village in southeastern France renowned for its pottery tradition. Crafted in the early to mid-20th century, this piece retains its original lid and showcases a stunning jaspe glaze, a distinctive decorative technique involving swirled and marbled patterns. The striking brown-over-yellow finish, created through careful application and manipulation of glazes, gives the casserole an organic, almost painterly appearance, reminiscent of natural stone or marble.

Pottery from Cliousclat is celebrated for its rustic charm and vibrant, expressive glazes, often using clay sourced locally from the Rhône Valley. The jaspe technique, typical of French folk pottery, combines artistry with functionality, making each piece unique and visually captivating. This casserole is not only a remarkable example of Cliousclat’s pottery heritage but also an ideal decorative piece for a kitchen or dining area, bringing warmth and authenticity to any setting.
