Ships within 1 to 2 business days
A one-liter stoneware pitcher, hand-thrown and decorated in a studio in Ardèche.
In brief
A one-liter pitcher in beige, blue, and green glazed stoneware. Hand-thrown and decorated in Ardèche, it is fired at a high temperature (1280 degrees), waterproof, and dishwasher-safe. Each piece has slight variations in shape and decoration.
Description
This pitcher is made on Laure Fonteneau’s potter’s wheel in Vernoux-en-Vivarais. Once the shape has been formed, the piece is refined by hand to perfect its profile. It is then fired once in a bisque firing. Next, it is glazed and fired a second time at a very high temperature (1280 degrees). The stoneware is transformed, becoming waterproof and dishwasher-safe.
With a one-liter capacity, it serves water, wine, or lemonade for a table of four. When empty, it makes a lovely home for a bouquet of fresh or dried flowers.
Each pitcher passes through Laure’s hands at every stage: its shape, glaze color, and pattern vary from one piece to another. The one you receive will be similar to the photo, but not identical.

About Laure Fonteneau:
A few years ago, I trained on the potter’s wheel with Elodie Culis in Drôme. We worked on all kinds of forms and kept very few pieces over the course of several months. Our work was to practice and gradually acquire the potter’s techniques: centering the clay, pulling it up into even walls...
After these intense experiences, I settled in Vernoux-en-Vivarais, in Ardèche, and started making pottery. I continue to train while working, which is an excellent way to learn. The scope of possibilities in ceramics is so vast, and the ways of working are endless... I steer my work toward using simple materials and fairly understated, practical forms. I draw inspiration from nature and from various impressions of forests, mountains, and the sea...
I currently work in a shared studio in Vernoux, where several of us work as potters. It is also a place for learning, sharing, and connection.
