A beautiful antique French earthenware bowl, dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, with a wonderfully stylised cockerel decorating the interior.
The bowl has a rich honey-brown glaze with warm amber and ochre tones. The cockerel is hand-decorated in pale yellow slip, with flowing lines and delicate details, while a border of small raised dots follows the wide, slightly irregular rim. Darker accents around the edge and subtle variations in the glaze add to its rustic character.
The bowl has an attractive shallow form and is a lovely example of traditional French folk pottery. The unusual cockerel motif makes it particularly special, whether displayed on a kitchen table, dresser or open shelving.

The vintage glass storage jars are exactly as advertised. Excellent customer service! I placed two separate orders several days apart, but they were packed and shipped together. I was quickly reimbursed for overage shipping costs before even requesting a refund! Each jar was very well packed to minimize chance of breakage in transit, and they all arrived undamaged. I will shop here again!
Fantastic! Beautiful! I have been hunting for some Alfred Corneau urns for many years, as most sellers won't send them internationally, as well as at such a reasonable exchange rate. Very happy! : )
