Large Saint-Clément pitcher with cracked charm

A bohemian breath from the 60s with this large white earthenware pitcher, delicately glazed and hand-decorated with chocolate and turquoise flowers, evokes carefree summers, checkered tablecloths and bouquets picked from the garden. Its crackled glaze gives it an authentic, almost living patina, in the spirit of raku, without the smokiness but with the same imperfect charm. An original shape with a small base that gives it lightness. And a chocolate interior that ends in a speckled effect at the neck. Stamped Saint Clément: founded in the 19th century in Lorraine, the Saint-Clément earthenware factory is renowned for its delicate floral decorations and its expertise in glazed earthenware.
