A lovely antique French earthenware jug with a rounded body, flared neck and distinctive ribbed handle. The exterior features a rich chestnut-brown glaze with reddish tones and natural variations in colour, contrasting with the warm terracotta left exposed around the lower body. Inside, a beautiful honey-yellow glaze is scattered with darker speckles.
Dating from approximately the late 19th to early 20th century, this traditional French pottery jug has a small pouring lip and subtle moulded detailing around the neck. The irregularities in the glaze, including a few decorative drips, give the piece plenty of texture and character.
A wonderful addition to a collection of antique French country pottery, perfect for displaying on kitchen shelves, a rustic table or alongside other earthenware pieces.

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! : )
