French Provincial green glazed ceramic Jar from the south of France Biot

About the Item

Gorgeous green glazed ceramic jar from the south of France near Biot With a beautiful lead sulfide glaze, it achieves various shades of green and shadows on the surface of the jug. A beautiful, wide handle with grooved lines frames this beautiful hand-made piece. From the 16th century Biot built its reputation thanks to the manufacture and export of jars.
