Charming glazed terracotta flower pot with pretty colors typical of pottery from the south of France, Provençal pottery. It will bring a natural and sunny touch to your terrace or veranda. It has a well-balanced and original shape with its 4 handles. It has a hole at the bottom to drain excess water, so it can be used as a flowerpot but also as a simple pot. The irregularities, both in the modeling and in the glazing, testify to artisanal work, a village pottery for sale and local use. It probably dates from the 1950s. It is in good general condition, no cracks, but has two areas on the upper rim that have been "masked" by a light brown paint (less shiny than the glazing), I cannot say if these are original defects or accidents and when they were masked. At that time, nothing was wasted, nothing was thrown away until it was completely unusable, and it was sold, certainly for less, even with defects. In any case, it is not excessively visible amidst the mixture of enamel colors. It measures 18.5 cm in height and 25.5 cm in width (including handles).
