Bartavellejug

In the sunlit hills of Provence, between pine trees and rocky outcrops, still echoes the sound of Marcel Pagnol and his father’s footsteps, as they searched for the elusive bartavelle, the royal partridge — swift, wild, and free, a symbol of the untamed South.

The Bartavelle pitcher draws inspiration from this legendary bird and the tender pursuit that surrounds it. Its oversized handle, like a gracefully outstretched wing, invites broad, generous gestures, echoing the sweeping motion that comes just before flight. Its long, slender spout, reminiscent of a proud beak, gives the piece an assertive, elegant silhouette, as if ready to take off from the center of the table.

The body of the pitcher, handcrafted with care, bears textured impressions, carved with a gouge, evoking the nimble footprints of the bird on the dry, stony Provençal soil. Every detail speaks of the connection between the artisan’s hand and the surrounding landscape.

Bartavelle is a tribute to authentic Provence, to those luminous mornings spent exploring, to childhood memories shaped by waiting, listening, and hoping for a fleeting glimpse of this coveted bird.

A piece both functional and poetic, celebrating gesture, material, and the art of Southern living.
