The substantial hand-thrown body has a tall ovoid form, with a simple pouring lip and a strong applied handle rising from the shoulder.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe glaze is particularly attractive, changing considerably as the cruche is turned. Areas of rich reddish brown sit alongside golden ochre and darker speckled tones, while sections of the pale stoneware remain exposed around the neck and across parts of the body. Glaze runs, firing marks and subtle variations across the surface give the piece the character associated with traditional French utilitarian stoneware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally made as a practical household vessel, this large French cruche now makes a striking decorative piece for a kitchen, dining room or French country interior. Its generous scale and sculptural form allow it to stand beautifully on its own, filled with branches or displayed alongside a collection of antique French pottery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSourced in: \u003cem\u003eSouth West\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e France\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAge: \u003ci\u003e19th Century\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaterial: \u003ci\u003eStoneware\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat makes it special: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eIts mottled glaze\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLarge Antique French Stoneware Jug with Ochre \u0026amp; Russet Glaze Details:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eHeight: 14.6” \/ 37cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eWidth: 8.7” \/ 22cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eWeight: 8.6 lbs  \/ 3.9kg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eCondition: The jug shows wear, surface variation and firing imperfections consistent with its age, use and handmade construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eWe have more antique French pottery for sale \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/lamaisondebelasyse.com\/collections\/ceramics\" title=\"Antique French Pottery\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"La Maison de Belasyse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58857174073689,"sku":"830","price":295.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0807\/1145\/0969\/files\/830j_Large_Antique_French_Stoneware_Jug_with_Ochre_and_Russet_Glaze.jpg?v=1786883337","url":"https:\/\/lamaisondebelasyse.com\/de\/products\/large-antique-french-stoneware-jug-with-ochre-russet-glaze-19th-century","provider":"La Maison de Belasyse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
