Vintage Artisanal Stoneware Rosé Carafe with Ice Compartment

A distinctive handcrafted stoneware carafe with a beautiful rosy-toned glaze and wonderfully substantial form. Made by Le Refuge, Nîmes, this unusual piece combines rustic character with a slightly brutalist aesthetic, making it as striking displayed on a shelf or dresser as it is used at the table.

The carafe features a central compartment designed to hold ice, allowing drinks to be chilled without the ice coming into direct contact with the liquid — a clever traditional design that prevents dilution while keeping your drink cool. The thick stoneware construction gives the piece a lovely weight and tactile quality, while the softly mottled glaze and natural variations add to its authentic artisanal character.

A beautiful choice for French country, rustic, farmhouse and modern country interiors, this stoneware carafe is a particularly unusual find for collectors of French pottery and decorative vintage ceramics.
