A 19th-century French stoneware jug with a beautifully rounded body and an irregular ochre and brown glaze. The pale, cream-coloured stoneware provides a lovely contrast to the warm honey and russet tones, with areas where the glaze has gathered and run down the surface during firing.
The jug has a narrow neck, small pouring spout and curved handle, with fine horizontal throwing marks visible around the lower body. Its generous rounded shape and varied surface give it a distinctive rustic appearance.
A wonderful example of traditional French country pottery, this antique jug would make a lovely decorative piece for a kitchen, sideboard or open shelving, either displayed on its own or alongside a collection of antique ceramics.
Sourced in: South West France Age: 19th Century Material: Glazed stoneware What makes it special: The beautifully rounded shape and contrasting ochre and brown glaze, with visible throwing marks across the stoneware body.

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! : )
