Its rounded body narrows at the neck before opening into a broad, flared mouth. A substantial loop handle follows the curve between the upper neck and shoulder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eColourful decoration brings movement to the white-glazed surface. Pink and red petals surround yellow centres, with green leaves spreading between cobalt blue flourishes. The result is cheerful and expressive without losing its clear decorative structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFloral Panels and Geometric Borders\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLarge flowers occupy framed panels around the main body. Fine vertical blue lines divide these panels, while curved brushstrokes fill the spaces beside the blossoms. The painted strokes vary naturally in width and intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBroad blue bands circle the shoulder above the floral panels. Between them, a narrower border combines terracotta-coloured star-like forms, green dots and short blue strokes. Thin wavy lines add another layer of detail around the neck and lower body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmall floral sprigs decorate the upper section, leaving more of the white ground exposed. Blue dashes follow the rim and continue across the handle. These repeated touches connect the open mouth with the richly decorated body below.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Distinctive Pitcher Form\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wide upper opening contrasts strongly with the narrow neck and rounded lower body. A pinched pouring lip interrupts the flared rim. From the side, the loop handle creates an open curve behind the upper section.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe body tapers towards a compact base edged in blue. Beneath it, the unglazed underside carries an incised mark. The base photograph shows this mark alongside the texture and surface wear of the exposed earthenware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSize and Display\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pitcher stands approximately 24 cm high, with a body diameter of approximately 11 cm. The handle and flared mouth extend beyond that body measurement. Its vertical proportions give the floral decoration a strong presence without requiring a large display area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe combination of cobalt blue, green, pink, red and yellow works especially well against neutral surroundings. Display it alone to emphasise the silhouette, or beside simpler ceramics to highlight the painted borders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGood vintage condition overall, with vivid decoration and minor surface marks consistent with age and use. The body, spout and handle are intact, with no chips or cracks. Light wear is visible on the unglazed underside and base edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eType: Faïence pitcher\u003cbr\u003ePeriod: 20th century\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Glazed earthenware\u003cbr\u003eDecoration: Hand-painted floral panels and geometric borders\u003cbr\u003eColours: White, cobalt blue, pink, red, green, yellow and terracotta\u003cbr\u003eForm: Rounded body, narrow neck, flared mouth and loop handle\u003cbr\u003eMark: Incised mark on the unglazed underside\u003cbr\u003eBody diameter: Approximately 11 cm \/ 4.3 inches\u003cbr\u003eHeight: Approximately 24 cm \/ 9.4 inches\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good vintage condition with minor surface wear\u003cbr\u003eQuantity: One pitcher\u003cbr\u003eSKU: 2C175\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy It’s Special\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe appeal lies in the balance between the dramatic flared form and the freely painted decoration.
