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Originally made for everyday use, this traditional French pottery jug has a simple, well-proportioned shape and a particularly attractive patina.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.

The vintage glass storage jars are exactly as advertised. Excellent customer service! I placed two separate orders several days apart, but they were packed and shipped together. I was quickly reimbursed for overage shipping costs before even requesting a refund! Each jar was very well packed to minimize chance of breakage in transit, and they all arrived undamaged. I will shop here again!
Fantastic! Beautiful! I have been hunting for some Alfred Corneau urns for many years, as most sellers won't send them internationally, as well as at such a reasonable exchange rate. Very happy! : )
