Thrown in a dense, naturally speckled grey clay body, this piece belongs to a long tradition of utilitarian French stoneware -- known in France as grès -- produced in regional potteries to supply farm households with durable, everyday vessels. The conical form, wide flat rim and twin pinched spouts are all hallmarks of the classic French jatte à verser, the workhorse pouring bowl that appeared on kitchen tables from Normandy to the Auvergne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe interior carries a smooth grey-green glaze that has mellowed to a soft, almost celadon tone, while the exterior clay body is left unglazed, its natural warmth punctuated by iron flecks fired into the stone. The wide horizontal rim gives the bowl a handsome, well-balanced profile that reads beautifully on a kitchen shelf or a farmhouse table. Today it works equally well as a bread-rising bowl, a generous fruit or salad bowl, or simply as a sculptural object in a collected kitchen or a linen-and-pottery vignette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age. Some light surface darkening and mineral staining on the exterior, and a small scatter of iron spots visible on the interior glaze -- all honest evidence of a long working life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApprox. 13.8 in wide x 6.7 in tall (35 x 17 cm).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e95% of my items are tariff-free to the US.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- fmf-shopify --\u003e","brand":"Fleamarketfrance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58785656275288,"sku":"FMF-KKD8SMPS","price":278.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0895\/5776\/2392\/files\/4db3fd65d1bb10780f40751a0f568d84.jpg?v=1791966996","url":"https:\/\/fleamarketfrance.com\/products\/antique-french-stoneware-mixing-bowl-1410262","provider":"Fleamarketfrance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
