It is sturdy, sculptural and wonderful... the kind of piece that looks like it came straight from a southwestern French pantry and still carries the warmth of that kitchen with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis buire de noix, or walnut oil jug, likely dates from the 19th century and is consistent with earthenware from the Dordogne and Périgord region, where walnut oil was part of daily cooking. The central neck was used for filling, while the small shoulder spout allowed the oil to be poured in a controlled stream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe applied \"doigtier\" decoration is a wonderful detail, with small clay pellets pressed into vertical lines and curling scrolls across the body. There are chips around the central rim and glaze losses along the raised decoration. These are all signs of its long kitchen life. Displayed on a shelf, table or sideboard, it brings a strong piece of French country history into the room.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53159979090263,"sku":"CER-019","price":1150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/traditional-french-earthenware-decorative-jug-with-relief-dot-pattern-2.jpg?v=1788803056","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/en-us\/products\/rustic-provencal-pottery-jug-with-rich-brown-glaze-and-decorative-relief-motifs","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
