Late 19th-Century Savoyard Pitcher w/ Jaspe Glaze 4¾"

This charming Savoyard pitcher is a beautiful example of late 19th to early 20th-century craftsmanship, featuring a red ocher glaze as its base. The pitcher is distinctively adorned with brown and green jaspe streaks, creating a visually striking marbled effect. The interior of the pitcher is skillfully finished with a pale yellow glaze, adding a subtle contrast to the vibrant exterior. 

Jaspe glaze is a decorating technique originating from the 18th century, notable for its swirling patterns created by applying and manipulating different colored glazes. This method involves layering multiple glazes on the pottery and then using tools or combs to blend them into organic, freeform designs. The end result is a unique, marbled surface that adds depth and texture to ceramic pieces.

This pitcher, with its rich color palette and intricate jaspe patterns, would make an excellent accent piece on a kitchen shelf or dining table. Its rustic charm compliments farmhouse or country-style décor, bringing a touch of historical craftsmanship into modern homes. Displaying it alongside other pottery can create a cohesive and inviting atmosphere.
