Small water butter dish in glazed stoneware in the Ratilly style.

Small water butter dish in artisanal glazed stoneware, in the spirit of the productions from Ratilly and the workshops of Puisaye from the 1950s to 1970s. The piece combines a warm brown stoneware left unglazed with a lightly satin-finished speckled grey glaze, featuring a lovely collar and circular relief typical of hand-turned workshops. Even without the famous owl stamp, all the aesthetic codes of the Puisaye workshops are present: dense turning, hues, nuanced glaze, and a very authentic presence. In good vintage condition, with some micro-irregularities and small spots in the glaze due to artisanal firing (see photos). Height 8 cm, height without lid 6 cm, diameter at the widest point 9 cm, for the butter compartment: height 3.5 cm, diameter 5 cm, capable of holding between 50 and 70 grams of butter. A piece that is both useful and decorative, perfect for a breakfast table or in a contemporary country kitchen.
