{"product_id":"antique-french-medici-vase-blue-glazed-terracotta-flowerpot","title":"Antique French Medici Vase | Blue Glazed Terracotta | Flowerpot","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe vase Medicis shape is one of the most recognizable in French pottery, and here it is, rendered plainly and small in glazed terracotta. This antique French flowerpot flares from a waisted pedestal foot up to a wide bell mouth, the classic campana silhouette. A deep cobalt blue glaze covers the body. The raw terracotta shows through at the foot and along the rim, where the pot stood in the kiln.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe blue antique French glazed pot is turned earthenware, glazed outside and left raw within. The partial dip reads in the sandy unglazed bands at base and lip, the way these country pieces were always finished. A drainage hole runs through the foot, so this Medici planter was made to hold a plant. Wheel marks ring the body and the glaze pools darker in the turns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePicture it on a windowsill catching the morning light, a small olive or a geranium settled inside, a little of the South of France brought indoors. The blue has the depth only aged glaze carries, quiet and steady after more than a century. Most of these did not survive the century. This one did.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53671356891479,"sku":"CER-135","price":315.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/blue-glazed-terracotta-flowerpot-medici-provence-2.jpg?v=1781032093","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/antique-french-medici-vase-blue-glazed-terracotta-flowerpot","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
