Vintage pichet à cidre

Vintage pichet à cidre

Glazed Terracotta pitcher with lid

8”

A beautifully rustic French pichet in terracotta, featuring a rich amber glaze over the top half and an unglazed lower body in classic red clay. This utilitarian form was traditionally used for serving cider or water in rural French kitchens. The high arched handle, side spout, and fitted lid speak to both function and charm, making it a striking addition to any shelf or tabletop. Sourced in Paris, likely mid-20th century with roots in southwestern France.

Styling Notes:

Style it as a sculptural kitchen accent, use it to hold a few dried stems, or let it anchor a vignette of French pottery on open shelving. The warm tones pair beautifully with other earth-toned ceramics and aged wood.

Excellent vintage condition with minor surface irregularities and glaze variation consistent with handmade pottery. No cracks or repairs.
