The form is compact and well-balanced: a rounded belly that narrows to a short collar neck with a gently rolled rim, all turned with an assured, unhurried hand that speaks to a regional craft tradition rather than industrial production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat draws the eye immediately is the two-tone finish. The upper half and interior carry a warm amber-orange lead glaze, pooling and shifting in tone as it catches the light, while the lower half is left in its raw sandy clay -- a hallmark of the pot au grais, the functional stoneware vessels made in quantity across rural France from the nineteenth century well into the twentieth. A small oval firing mark sits on the shoulder where the glaze ran and fused, a natural badge of the kiln. The unglazed base reveals a coarse, pale terracotta body with the slight irregularities and surface texture that confirm hand-throwing. On a shelf, a windowsill or a kitchen counter, it holds dried stems or a single branch with the kind of quiet, grounded presence that no modern reproduction quite matches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age. Light wear and minor surface pitting to the unglazed lower section, consistent with a working life; the glaze on the upper body is intact with no chips or losses noted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApprox. 5.7 in tall (14.5 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":58785700970840,"sku":"FMF-7K2N2ND2","price":191.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0895\/5776\/2392\/files\/420bfb08874ea56bb94974a35789eca5.jpg?v=1791967534","url":"https:\/\/fleamarketfrance.com\/products\/french-rustic-pottery-vase-stoneware-14102620","provider":"Fleamarketfrance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
