The honey glaze, darker speckling, bare terracotta base and high loop handles give it a wonderfully rural southern French feeling... like something carried from cellar to field and back again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnown as a gourde de vigneron, or wine carrier, this piece likely dates from the second quarter of the 19th century. Pieces like this were used in the South of France by field workers and vignerons, often carried with a strap through the two handles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe exposed clay near the foot has darkened beautifully from handling and age, with mineral traces and natural wear that add real character. Displayed on a console, shelf or study table with books, glass or dried stems nearby... it brings a strong, delightful little piece of rural French history into the room.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53976378999127,"sku":"CER-132","price":285.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/french-wine-carrier-gourde-two-handled-19th-century-2.jpg?v=1783607454","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/antique-french-gourde-glazed-terracotta-two-handled-wine-carrier","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
