Pitcher melon in yellow and green majolica.

Large enamelled earthenware pitcher decorated with a melon design. The ribbed body is covered in a sunny yellow accented with deep green lines that highlight each section. The large rounded handle echoes this contrast, with a wide, wavy spout. An unmarked vintage model. This yellow and green melon-shaped pitcher is a classic of earthenware, notably produced by various French manufacturers throughout the 20th century. In beautiful vintage condition, with minimal signs of use and small irregularities at the spout (see photos). Handle length to spout is 22 cm, height is 17 cm, widest diameter is 13 cm, estimated capacity is 1.2 liters. A bright yellow, a few green lines, and all the whimsy of vintage earthenware.
