This authentic 19th Century French Biot jar is a stunning example of traditional Provençal pottery. Crafted from terracotta, this jar was originally used to store olives or oil, embodying the rustic charm and functionality typical of the region. It features the classic rounded shape with a slightly flared lip, and its aged patina adds unique character, reflecting years of use and natural weathering. A hallmark of Biot jars is the drips of glaze, often green, which can be seen on this piece, adding a touch of color and artistry. Perfect for both indoor and outdoor decor, this jar serves as a beautiful planter or decorative accent, bringing a piece of French history and timeless craftsmanship into any indoor or outdoor space.
