19th Century French Small Olive Jar

About the Item

19th Century French Small Olive Jar Discover the charm of rural French countryside with this 18th-century Small Olive Jar from Provence. Crafted from blonde clay, this terracotta vase stands at an elegant 20 inches in height, with a width of 16 inches and an 8-inch opening, making it a versatile piece for any space. Its traditional round bulbous shape captures the essence of provincial French design, while the rustic, aged appearance tells a story of time passed. The jar's most distinctive feature is its beautiful orange ochre glaze that adorns the rolled rim neck, gracefully dripping down the sides over the natural beige body, offering a glimpse into the artisan's technique and the piece's historic authenticity. Neutral in color, it harmonizes effortlessly with various decors, making it an exquisite cachepot for potted plants or a striking vase for arranging twisted willow branches or fresh bouquets. This Small Olive Jar is not just a piece of decor but a slice of history, embodying the warmth and simplicity of 18th-century Provencal life. Whether showcased alone or among a collection, it promises to bring a touch of timeless elegance and rustic charm to any setting.
