This is a wonderful example of Southern French pottery, from the Savoie region, where everyday utilitarian forms were elevated through beautiful glaze and confident handwork. The glaze is a rich, luminous emerald green—often referred to as “Vernet Green”—prized for the way it transforms simple earthenware into something visually striking. It has real depth, shifting in tone as the light moves across the surface. The form is equally appealing: a softly bulbous body with horizontal ribbing, thrown by hand on a wheel. These subtle ringed ridges were not only decorative but practical, offering grip when the vessel was filled and in daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 6-1\/2\" tall, it has an easy presence. You can imagine it once holding water, cider, or wine in a French farmhouse kitchen, always close at hand, always in use. Today, it works just as beautifully styled on open shelving, on your kitchen counter, or holding a simple branch or garden cutting. The glaze has wonderful depth and variation, with one small kiln-related glaze pop consistent with age and traditional firing methods. It's exactly the kind of French provincial object that carries both utility and quiet elegance—humble in origin, yet deeply expressive in its simplicity and color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCollector’s Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrench provincial pitchers like this were essential household vessels in the 19th century, used daily for water and wine. Today, they are appreciated for their saturated glazes, hand-thrown form, and sculptural presence in the home. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(221, 102, 80);\"\u003eComplimentary U.S. shipping included.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasures 6\" x 5-1\/2\" X 6-1\/2\"h.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"frenchgardenhouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45730020229174,"sku":null,"price":325.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/1612\/0886\/files\/19thCenturyFrenchProvincialGreenGlazedEarthenwarePitcher.jpg?v=1778191475","url":"https:\/\/frenchgardenhouse.com\/products\/19th-century-french-provincial-green-glazed-earthenware-pitcher","provider":"frenchgardenhouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
