About the Item
A large size French Provincial terracotta olive oil Biot jar from Provence with traces of yellow glaze and green dripping from the 19th century. A magnificent large-sized French Provincial terracotta olive oil Biot jar from the 19th century, hailing from the sun-soaked region of Provence, with traces of yellow glaze and discreet green drippings adorning its surface. Steeped in the rich heritage of Southern France, this Provençale Biot jar emanates rustic charm and bucolic grace.

Exquisitely cascading down the jar’s ample curves are traces of green dripping, reminiscent of olive branches swaying in a Provençal breeze.
The jar’s earthy texture and nuanced coloring embody the rustic beauty of the French countryside, making it a treasure that transcends time. With its substantial size and hearty shape, this olive oil Biot jar would be an excellent choice to be repurposed as a planter, allowing for vibrant greenery to pay homage to its olive-storing origins.
