About the Item
This charming 19th century French water jar is a beautiful example of traditional Provençal pottery, distinguished by its vivid green glaze and distinctive regional silhouette. Hand-thrown in terracotta and partially dipped in a lush, apple-green lead glaze, it features an appealing contrast between the glossy upper body and the natural, unglazed clay base. The piece includes its original matching lid—an increasingly rare detail—which sits neatly beneath the large arched handle, typical of water jars designed for practical, everyday use in rural southern France.
The jar presents a classic form with two side handles and a short spout, originally intended for pouring and storing liquids. The glaze displays charming irregularities, craquelure, and variations in tone characteristic of artisanal 19th-century production. These nuances enhance its authenticity and rustic Provençal character.
Both decorative and functional, this jar brings warmth and texture to any interior. It works beautifully as a standalone accent, grouped with other terracotta vessels, or displayed in a French country kitchen or Mediterranean-inspired space. A lovely historic piece with genuine southern French charm.
