French rope mounted ceramic jar in yellow & green glaze by Biot circa 1950

About the Item

Traditional vintage French garden jar by the Biot manufactures, this piece was hand mounted using rope before being glazed with the popular yellow and green oxides often used in southern France. The piece dates back to the mid 20th century, it is in great overall condition with no damage to be noted, it is signed with the official BIOT stamp. "Earthenware vases have been made in Biot, a town in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region near Antibes, since the Middle Ages. Artisans from Biot followed ancient techniques to craft pottery. Jars from Biot served a purely practical purpose originally. They were created to store and transport food and liquid such as olives and oil. Not only has the quality of the craftsmanship stood the test of time, but the sublime and simple shape has as well. The famous Biot Vase is still highly sought after as a decorative item today (credit: The Office of Tourism in Biot)."
