French 19th Century Terracotta Dribble Pot
This terracotta dribble pot is French and dates to around 1840. The name refers to the glaze, which was applied to the upper body and allowed to run, or dribble, down toward the unglazed lower section, creating the irregular drip pattern that defines the type. Made of earthenware in the French provincial tradition, the pot was originally a utilitarian kitchen vessel. The rounded body and wide mouth follow its practical purpose, while the dribbled glaze gives each example an individual surface. Pots of this kind are now valued decoratively for their honest material and the natural variation of their glaze runs. The present example suits display on a kitchen shelf, dresser, or table, where it can stand as a decorative object, hold utensils or stems, or join a group of related French country pottery for a fuller effect.
