Likely produced in the late 19th or early 20th century in southern France, where village potters across Provence and Languedoc finished these everyday water jugs in copper based glaze. The bridge handle, side loop, and short spout are all classic elements of this type of antique French pottery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body of this 19th century French water is fully glazed rather than the more common half glazed examples. Decades of daily use have lifted patches of glaze across the belly, revealing the warm terracotta beneath. This glaze speckle is often caused due to freezing or being gently tapped into harder surfaces. This one is a substantial piece, made to be carried into the fields and set on a long farm table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Provençal cruche earns its place in any country kitchen, propped on an open shelf or filled with branches of olive or lavender on a stone counter. A piece like this came out of a real French farmhouse, and it shows. An old water pitcher in this wonderful condition does not come around often.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52997454037335,"sku":"CER-002","price":506.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/french-green-glazed-ceramic-olive-oil-cruet-with-handle-and-spout-2.jpg?v=1773324375","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/traditional-french-country-green-glazed-ceramic-oil-pitcher-with-handle-and-spout","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
