The decoration varies from piece to piece, incorporating deep brown, blue, green, red, and cream tones, giving the collection a lively French folk-art character.
Each vessel retains its original fitted lid, finished with a small pointed finial and shaped to accommodate the pouring spout. The gently tapered forms, rolled rims, and individually painted decoration reflect their traditional handmade construction. Variations in glazing, surface texture, decoration, and wear are consistent with age and add to the authenticity of the group.
Originally utilitarian household pottery, these lidded vessels are now highly decorative examples of 19th-century French country ceramics and display beautifully as a collection.

They are priced and sold individually; 5 available.
