Antique French clay water/ wine jug with arched handle, circa 1890-1910. Beautiful neutral buff colored glaze. Bottom portion remains unglazed, as was the style.
Used to keep liquids cool during a worker’s long day, often these were partially buried in the cool soil while they worked, to ensure a refreshing drink.
In very good antique condition showing age appropriate wear and evidence of use. These pieces were used daily over many decades, so wear is part of the charm. A nick here or there adds to character.
Small chip to spout as photographed, but structurally in very good shape. Please review all photos for an accurate depiction of condition.
This item will be double boxed for shipping to provide protection. I am cost sharing the price of shipping for this reason.
Dimensions:
width side to side incl. spout,9.5 inches
Height from bottom to top arch,11.5 inches
Diameter at mouth, 4.5 inches
Weight: 3 lbs 14 ounces
