The tian -- a wide, shallow bowl used for generations in French country kitchens for mixing, marinating and gratin cooking -- is one of the most honest and functional forms in the French ceramic tradition, particularly associated with Provence and the Languedoc. The raw, sandy-pink exterior contrasts beautifully with the richly colored glazed interior, a combination that speaks directly to the farmhouse origins of the form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scalloped rim, formed by hand rather than cut by machine, gives the bowl its quietly lively silhouette. The interior glaze catches the light with a depth that comes only from age and use -- matte in some areas, still glossy in others, the surface telling the story of a long working life in a French kitchen. Today it works equally well as a fruit bowl on a kitchen counter, a display piece on a shelf, or a serving vessel at the table. The unglazed base shows the full character of the local terracotta clay, sandy and warm in tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age. Light glaze loss visible on the rim and interior shoulder, and natural crazing throughout the glazed surface -- all expected and appropriate for a piece of this age and type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApprox. 10.4 in diameter x 3.9 in deep (26.5 cm x 10 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":58935133864280,"sku":"FMF-CQQRDWJZ","price":128.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0895\/5776\/2392\/files\/2fd2423a71e4adbfe9566b73ca34cddf.jpg?v=1793034456","url":"https:\/\/fleamarketfrance.com\/products\/antique-french-terracotta-tian-bowl-2610267","provider":"Fleamarketfrance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
