Antique French Tian Bowl with Ochre Yellow Glaze 13.8"

A substantial antique French tian bowl dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, with a rich ochre-yellow glazed interior and a beautifully weathered terracotta exterior.

Traditionally used in French country kitchens for food preparation, this deep earthenware bowl has gently sloping sides and a thick, rounded rim. The warm yellow glaze has developed considerable character through years of use, with dark mottling and areas of wear across the interior. The unglazed exterior has a pale, chalky patina, with subtle throwing marks and natural variations in the terracotta.

The combination of its generous proportions, warm colouring and heavily worn surfaces makes this a particularly appealing piece of French country pottery. Perfect for displaying on a kitchen table, open shelving or a large sideboard.
