Moustiers earthenware pitcher — polychrome floral decoration

On the light background of this earthenware pitcher from Moustiers, flowers and foliage create a delicate polychrome decoration. Its generous body, open neck, and large handle form a welcoming silhouette, highlighted with ochre touches. The bouquets are distributed across the different sides of the pitcher, with a more developed composition on its central part. The colors of the decoration stand out against the light glaze, while an ochre line accompanies the edge and handle. The rounded silhouette contrasts with the flared neck and the movement of the spout. Viewed from the front or profile, the piece reveals different floral compositions. The underside bears the mark "Le Fayansier de Moustiers — Atelier de St Jurs." Made in the 20th century, this piece captures the spirit of 18th-century earthenware. Its decorative presence allows it to be displayed alone on a sideboard or within a collection of Provençal ceramics. The light background and touches of color also harmonize with a wooden table and plain dishware. Material: earthenware. Decoration: polychrome flowers and foliage.
