Rustic Antique French Savoyard Milk Pitcher w/ Dots 6¾"

This charming Savoyard pitcher, dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, showcases a delightful rustic aesthetic. Its glaze features a warm yellow base complemented by brown and ochre vertical spotted patterns, creating a visually appealing contrast. The pitcher’s petite form makes it an ideal piece for displaying on a mantel or shelf, enhancing its farmhouse charm. 

The origin in the Savoy region speaks to the traditional craftsmanship of rural France, where such pottery was a staple in everyday life. This pitcher embodies the simplicity and functionality characteristic of the period’s pottery, made from robust terracotta. While designed with utility in mind, its decorative glaze reveals an artistic flair common in household items from this era in rural Europe.

Condition-wise, this pitcher presents an attractive, weathered appearance, though it is noted to have a crack which renders it non-watertight. Despite this, the piece remains a delightful option for dry floral arrangements or as a standalone decorative accent. Its rustic allure adds a touch of historical authenticity to any setting, blending seamlessly into farmhouse and shabby chic interiors.

Heavy wear and rustic condition consistent with age and use.
