The dark fire marks, warm ash-glazed surface and hand-pulled handles give it the presence of something that lived close to the earth, the hearth and the daily rhythm of a country household.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn orjol is a traditional southern French pouring jar, used for water, oil or wine. This example likely dates to the 18th century, possibly earlier, with a coarse hand-thrown terracotta body, two handles rising from the neck and a softly pinched trilobed lip for pouring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface is the remarkable part. There is no decorative glaze in the usual sense; the amber and gold tones appear to come from wood ash vitrified in the kiln, with darker scorch bands where flame moved across the clay. Set in an entry, on a console or among other early pottery... it adds the one thing new objects cannot: real age and history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54237095166295,"sku":"CER-104","price":799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/antique-french-country-pottery-oil-jar-2.jpg?v=1788802397","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/en-us\/products\/antique-french-orjol-two-handled-terracotta-pouring-jar-18th-century","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
