Meet this charming antique & rare barbotine pitcher, crafted by Onnaing in France around the 1890s.
Featuring a delightfully laughing monk with hands folded over his chest, this sculptural jug radiates warmth and character. His expressive face, rich brown tones, and traditional red-glazed interior capture the playful artistry that defines Onnaing’s Majolica creations.
Despite a few small chips from its well-loved past (please see photos), this pitcher’s charm remains completely intact. The craftsmanship is unmistakable, with detailed sculpting and vibrant glazing that showcase Onnaing’s mastery of barbotine ceramics.
Stamped with the model number #706, this piece carries the legacy of the Onnaing Faiencerie, a historic pottery workshop founded in 1821 and renowned for its whimsical, artistic pitchers.
Whether displayed on a shelf, used as a decorative vase, or enjoyed as a conversation-starting bar accessory, this monk pitcher brings a touch of French history and undeniable cheer into your home.
