Miniature Provençal Tian Bowl W/ Mustard Yellow Glaze - 8¼"

This charming miniature tian bowl features a beautifully balanced design, with delicately formed dual handles and a pronounced spout that hints at its practical past in the Provençal kitchen. The interior is finished in a rich mustard-yellow glaze that spills over the rim, creating a soft, painterly transition to the warm, unglazed terracotta below. The contrast between the glossy glaze and the raw red clay lends the piece a rustic elegance, making it as decorative as it is historically evocative. A petite but characterful example of traditional French pottery.

Originating from the Provence region of France, tian bowls have a rich history as versatile kitchen staples, traditionally used for preparing and cooking meals. Their simple yet effective design has allowed them to remain timeless pieces, cherished for both their functionality and aesthetic appeal.

Incorporating this miniature tian bowl into a contemporary interior adds a touch of rustic elegance. It can serve as a charming accent piece on a kitchen shelf or as part of a curated display on a dining room sideboard. Perfectly practical, it’s also ideal for serving olives, nuts, or other small bites—combining functionality with timeless Provençal character.
