Description
A pair of Terre e Provence hand-painted earthenware items comprising a large pitcher and a circular charger. Each piece features a cream-coloured glaze decorated with stylised botanical motifs in shades of blue, yellow, and green. The decoration is accented with a brown hand-painted wavy interlaced border and green banded rims. The pitcher is of bulbous form with a flared neck, pinched pouring spout, and a simple loop handle. The charger is of large, flat circular form with a slightly raised rim. Both items exhibit visible brushwork characteristic of artisanal production and a visible reddish-brown clay body at the unglazed foot rims. No maker marks are present, but the style and decoration are consistent with the Terre e Provence factory.
Plate Diameter: 31.5 cm
Pitcher Height: 20 cm.
Condition report:
The set is in generally good condition. A small dark blemish or firing pit is present in the glaze near the centre of the charger. No major chips, cracks, or signs of repair are visible.
