Early 20th Century French Glazed Terracotta Pitcher with Side Handle

A charming and rustic early 20th century French terracotta pitcher, hand-thrown and finished in a traditional slip-glaze technique. The piece features a small rounded body, a slightly flared rim with a pouring spout, and a distinctive side handle—an uncommon and practical design element typical of utilitarian French pottery used in rural kitchens.
The surface is decorated in rich earth tones: warm amber, deep brown, and creamy white glazes applied in free-flowing, organic strokes, showcasing the handmade nature of the vessel. The glaze has developed a beautiful craquelure over time, and areas of wear and patina add to its authentic, lived-in charm.
Likely used for warming and pouring milk or sauces, this petite piece is both collectible and decorative. It would make a lovely addition to a farmhouse-style kitchen, pottery collection, or rustic tabletop display.
