Decorative glazed ceramic pitcher (majolica) in the shape of a rooster, manufactured in France during the interwar period. This piece features rich hand-painted polychromy and iconography deeply linked to French national identity.

History: The theme of the pitcher references Edmond Rostand's play 'Chantecler' and the symbol of the Gallic rooster. The relief inscriptions 'Chante Clair pour la France' and 'Le Gaulois' emphasize the patriotic nature of this earthenware, common in the production of ceramic centers such as Saint-Clément or Onnaing in the early 20th century.
