Large Earthenware Pitcher, Girard, France. Early 20th century. Spring Sale! observable as a stick manA very interesting and authentic antique side handled earthenware pitcher from the Western French countryside, of good scale and featuring a deep brown applied glaze externally and speckled dark yellow glaze internally.
