Late 19th Century Ocher Terracotta Pitcher w/ Daisy Motif 7"

This elegant glazed terracotta pitcher, adorned in a warm red ocher hue, captures the eye with its simple daisy flower motif. Its subtle, pale yellow interior contrasts beautifully with the exterior, adding a touch of charm to its rustic appeal. This piece, indicative of late 19th to early 20th century craftsmanship, embodies the period's dedication to simplistic yet aesthetic functional wares. 

Originating from a time when terracotta was extensively used in domestic environments, this pitcher reflects the era’s artistic tendencies towards incorporating natural motifs. The glaze, while primarily protective, offers the piece a glossy finish that enhances its visual appeal. The daisy decoration is gently applied, illustrating the artisanal attention to detail that was prevalent during this period in pottery making.

Despite its age, the pitcher remains in good condition, with expected wear that adds character to its timeworn facade. Minor chips near the spout do not detract from its overall beauty, making it a delightful addition to both vintage collections and functional use. Perfect for a quaint kitchen setting or display, its simplicity allows it to complement a variety of decor styles, bringing a touch of historical elegance to any space.
