Classic typology of the sick duck, popular in the South-West provinces in the 18th century: elongated body, oval opening circled in green, short neck ending in a round pierced beak; coiled handle forming the tail. The painting, free and frank, favors flat colored areas and manganese highlights, characteristic of provincial production. The cream enamel, slightly bubbled, and the small turning irregularities give the object its artisanal character.
