French Red Glazed Terracotta Dairy Bowl #13

French glazed terracotta dairy bowl with a broad rounded body and pouring lip. This traditional form is often described in France as a jatte à lait or jatte à crème and was used in household dairy work, where milk could be left to stand before the cream was separated. The glazed interior reduced absorption into the porous earthenware, while the lip allowed liquid to be poured from the bowl.
