The rounded terracotta body, worn green glaze and original cloth-wrapped stopper give it the look of something pulled from a farmhouse pantry after generations of use. It has that quiet, earthy presence that makes French country pottery so delightful to live with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cruche à huile de noix, or walnut oil jug, likely dates from the late 18th to very early 19th century. Pieces like this were used in southwestern and central France for storing walnut oil, with two loop handles for lifting and a broad mouth for filling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe glaze has worn back beautifully across the surface, revealing warm orange terracotta beneath. A small sawtooth band circles the shoulder, and the original carved plug with cloth wrapping is still in place... which is such a special detail. Displayed on a shelf, counter or sideboard... it carries the feeling of old French farmhouses and working country kitchens.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53504495747415,"sku":"CER-021","price":1105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/antique-french-walnut-oil-cruche-glazed-terracotta-late-18th-century-2.jpg?v=1788802816","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/en-us\/products\/antique-french-walnut-oil-cruche-glazed-terracotta-late-18th-century","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
