A decorative French ceramic figure of a rooster (coq), hand-painted in vivid, traditional colours. The piece captures the proud stance of the bird, with a bright red comb and wattle, warm yellow body, and deep green tail feathers highlighted with expressive brushwork.
The glossy glaze and slightly naïve modelling are characteristic of mid-century French decorative ceramics, evoking rustic farmhouse charm associated with regional pottery traditions. The hollow body with a small vent hole indicates slip-cast production.

Mid 20th century (circa 1950s–1970s)
Origin:
France
Materials:
Glazed earthenware
Condition:
Good vintage condition. No visible cracks or restoration. Light surface wear consistent with age. Glaze remains vibrant and well preserved.
