A stunning 19th century French cruche from Provence having a yellow ochre glaze with caramel drips, two handles, a spout, and the original lid, circa 1870s. Traditionally used to keep cold water in the house or in the fields, these French pitchers were only half glazed as they would have been stored in the ground to cool the water. The beautiful warm patina of this large antique water pitcher developed over the passage of time and with the help of the hot Provençal sun. The imperfections are a testament to its utilitarian history and frequent use. A classic French piece with the original lid, which is very rare to find, making it a very collectible piece. Beautifully decorative, this 19th century cruche will add a bit of French Country charm wherever it's used. We have a large selection of antique French pottery.
