About the Item

A delightfully rustic, antique, hand-crafted earthenware olive oil vessel (circa 1900) sourced from Avignon, France, in Provence from a seller who indicated it was from the Auvergne region. The Auvergne is the least populated area in France and indeed, in all of Europe, with respect to population density per kilometre of land. It is the home of ancient mountains, grazing lands and volcanic lakes. Somewhat uncertain about its original purpose (wine, oil, water?), this earthenware container is sizeable in stature and in charm; the piece would look beautiful on an old garden or kitchen table. Given its age, it is in fair overall condition - those blemishes, nicks, scratches and tiny chips are part of its charm and attest to its interesting history. The detailed photos accompanying this listing do not do the piece any favours as it actually looks better when viewed in person. Upon request a video can be provided.

Not all antique Italian glazed Olive Oil Jars or Vases are created equal and this particular Olive Oil jar’s colors are simply beyond spectacular. Dating from the late 1800’s and discovered in a field in the south of Italy by an old friend. Most people refer to these as amphora jars, beginning in the Neolithic Period and running from approximately 9000BC to 3500BC. Generally, Amphorae were used in large numbers to transport Olive Oil and Wine. The design trade and most antique dealers simply call these vessels or Olive Oil Jars. For us, we look at the Olive Oil Jars as pieces of sculpture and they are as good looking outdoors as they are in your home. The color palette and the sheen of the glaze they are simply magical and create a truly great focal point. When we started in the antique business...
