About the Item

This striking 19th-century French terracotta jug is a beautiful example of utilitarian pottery turned timeless décor. Hand-thrown and fired in the South of France, the vessel features a deep ochre yellow glaze on the upper portion, a traditional glaze once used to seal and protect the interior. The bottom half remains unglazed, showcasing the warm, raw texture of sun-baked terracotta. Its curvaceous silhouette, slightly tapered base, and twin handles evoke the rustic charm of Provençal farmhouses. Signs of age, such as glaze drips, minor chips, and surface patina, testify to its authenticity and many years of use. Originally crafted for storing oil or water, this antique jug now serves as an arresting accent piece, full of character, warmth, and handmade soul.
