A Timeless Piece of French Heritage
Authentic 19th Century French Craftsmanship
Immerse yourself in the rustic elegance of this petite antique French Table Cruche/Gargoulette from the 19th century, a true gem from the charming village of Agen in Southwest France. Handcrafted with a sturdy terracotta body and a wonderfully wonky handle, this piece was traditionally used for storing water or wine, embodying the practical yet beautiful design typical of French country pottery. The marmalade glaze, highlighted by a rich dark mustard overglaze on the top half, spout, handles, and original lid, is a testament to its age and origin. This cruche is more than just a decorative item—it’s a piece of history, ready to bring warmth and authenticity to your home.
