18th Century, French, Hand Crafted Terracotta Olive Jar from Biot Provence


$2,800

About

This antique earthenware olive jar was created in Biot, Southern France, circa 1760. Made of blond clay and neutral in color, the terracotta vase has a traditional round bulbous shape. The rustic, time-worn pot features a pale green glaze around the rolled rim neck, and a natural beige tone with green drips throughout the body. Overall, this tall Provincial ceramic jar is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, and adorns a rich, aged patinated finish. In the south of France and especially in Biot (small village on the French Riviera), these olive pots are also known as the “king of jars,” and were used to transport olive oil in the 17th and 18th century. Measures: 19″ diameter 25″ height.
