The unglazed body has a lovely soft, chalky surface shading from pale apricot at the shoulder to a deeper earthy tone at the base, with traces of dark glaze around the rim and inside the mouth. A charming country antique that works beautifully with dried branches or grasses, or on its own as a sculptural accent.

Dimensions: 13.5" W x 10.5" D x 14.5" H.

Condition: Good antique condition with wear consistent with age and use, including surface wear, small marks and minor losses to the glaze at the rim, as shown in the photos.
