This is a charming "bec pincé" pitcher from Dieulefit, a renowned pottery town in the Drôme region of France. The pitcher features a warm, yellow ocher glaze with a gently curved body and a distinctive pinched spout ("bec pincé") that adds a unique touch to its functional design. The deep brown handle, characteristic of traditional Dieulefit pottery, provides a lovely contrast to the soft yellow body.
Despite a small chip on the spout, this pitcher remains a beautiful decorative piece, ideal for adding character to a collection of French country pottery.
