18th Century French Provencal Terracotta Olive Jar from Biot Provence

About the Item

This large, antique earthenware olive jar was created in Biot, Provence, Southern France, circa 1760. Made of blond clay and neutral in color, the terracotta vessel has a traditional round bulbous shape. The rustic, time-worn pot features a pale ochre glaze around the rolled rim neck, and a natural weathered and patinated beige tone throughout the body. The tall Provincial ceramic jar is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, and adorns a rich, aged patinated finish. In the south of France and especially in Biot (small village on the French Riviera), these olive pots are also known as the "king of jars," and were used to transport olive oil in the 17th and 18th century. Measures: 30.5" diameter 41" height.
