A lovely slipware pitcher from the Onnaing factory, decorated in relief with stylized pine cones, foliage, and branches. Its naturalistic design is enhanced by a beautiful pale green glaze with brown undertones, characteristic of early 20th-century French pottery.
The handle, also molded in relief, echoes the floral motif and contributes to the overall elegance. The interior features a deep brown glaze, creating a particularly striking decorative contrast.
This piece is more in keeping with the Art Nouveau naturalist style than with Art Deco. The raised floral motifs and flowing lines are typical of Onnaing pottery from the 1900s-1920s.
