Glazed Stoneware Covered Jar – France, c. 1970

Turned stoneware pot with lid, handmade, bearing an incised workshop stamp under the base. Its generously rounded shape is topped with a wide-rimmed lid, whose graphic profile harmoniously extends that of the vessel.

The set is covered with a glaze in shades of olive green, beige, and brown, punctuated by numerous speckled effects and firing variations. The traces of turning remain visible, highlighting the artisanal character of the piece.

Versatile, this pot can be used as a display container, serving dish, or tureen. The lid, once removed, can also serve as a dish or a stand. A piece that is both functional and decorative, whose material and firing irregularities make each copy unique.
