French Vintage Ceramic Bowl with Yellow and Green Glaze, Provençal 15.7"

This large French bowl is made from glazed terracotta with a warm honey-toned exterior, a soft cream glazed interior and a traditional green rim. Dating to the early to mid 20th century, it was likely used in a farmhouse kitchen for food preparation and serving.

The broad, shallow form is typical of Provencal French kitchen pottery, designed for everyday use while still bringing warmth and colour to the table. The bowl has a beautifully simple utilitarian character, with subtle variations in the glaze and visible throwing rings beneath adding to its handmade feel.

A wonderfully decorative piece for a kitchen or dining space, it works beautifully displayed on an island or farmhouse table filled with seasonal fruit, artichokes or garden cuttings.
