This charming petite Biot pitcher, crafted in the 1960s, showcases the distinctive Provençal pottery tradition for which Biot is renowned. Originating from the village of Biot in the South of France, this style of pottery is celebrated for its earthy charm and vibrant glazes that evoke the Mediterranean landscape. The pitcher features a rich green glaze with warm golden accents and a gentle iridescent finish, a hallmark of Biot’s signature glazing technique, which creates a shimmering, almost glass-like surface.

Biot pottery is characterized by its hand-thrown forms, subtle irregularities, and often a ribbed or banded texture that gives each piece a unique, artisanal quality. Traditional Biot pieces frequently display bold color contrasts and a natural, rustic aesthetic, making them perfect for adding character to any space. This pitcher’s compact size and timeless design make it ideal for displaying fresh blooms, serving drinks, or simply as a decorative accent, bringing the warmth and artistry of French mid-century ceramics into your home.
