Pitcher traditional pottery Folk art in old enamelled sandstone

The pitcher is in very good condition, no accidents, no cracks or splinters. We can see some defects, but which are due to manufacturing. For example a shine at the collar under enamel, and a hair, still at the collar, in the earth, which is probably a cooking defect, before enamelling également.la piece was turned, then enamelled then inside, and at the collar. The exterior has been left matte-free, thus preserving the beautiful simple appearance of pyrite stoneware. The piece is generous, beautifully made, raw and authentic. It comes from the workshops of Pierre Digan, potter in La Borne, a village renowned for being a high place of ceramic creation since the twelfth century, in the Cher, between Sologne and Sancerrois. The capacity of the pitcher is a good liter and a half, it is quite heavy. Very beautiful piece of potter, French regional manufacture, late nineteenth.
