Set of Two Saint Uze Pitchers
Set of Two Saint Uze Pitchers
Saint-Uze pottery, originating from the small village of Saint-Uze in the Drôme region of France, is renowned for its traditional craftsmanship and vibrant, hand-painted designs. Established in the early 19th century, this pottery has become a hallmark of French artisanal ceramics.
Characterized by its earthenware base, Saint-Uze pottery often showcases intricate floral patterns and rustic motifs inspired by the surrounding countryside. The artisans employ time-honored techniques that involve shaping the clay by hand, followed by glazing and firing at high temperatures to achieve durability and a glossy finish.
Saint-Uze pottery beautifully captures the essence of French country living, blending aesthetics with utility. Collectors and enthusiasts of vintage French ceramics often seek out these pieces for their unique character and historical significance in the realm of pottery.
Sold as a set of two - small (9 cm tall) and medium (15 cm tall). The larger pitcher is in well-loved condition and has been repaired on the handle and the smaller is in very good condition without chips or cracks.
Why we love this…
“Both charming and functional, vintage pieces can add just the right authentic French touch to your kitchen or home”.
