Antique French Terracotta Jug with Orange Glazed Neck, Early 20th Century 6.9"

A lovely antique French terracotta jug, dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, with a rounded body, short cylindrical neck and a single curved handle.

The neck, handle and interior are finished in a warm reddish-orange glaze, contrasting beautifully with the unglazed terracotta body. Years of use and age have given the surface a wonderfully weathered appearance, with soft white deposits and variations in colour that reveal the natural texture of the clay.

Originally made for everyday use, this traditional French pottery jug has a simple, well-proportioned shape and a particularly attractive patina. It would make a lovely decorative piece displayed on a kitchen shelf, farmhouse table or amongst a collection of antique pottery.
