Authentic 19th Century French Walnut Oil Jar, Simple, Rustic, Beautiful
Bring timeless French charm into your home with this elegant 19th century walnut oil jar. Village made and wheel thrown, it features a warm buff terracotta body with beautiful orange firing blooms, created naturally in a traditional wood-fired kiln. The ridges from the potter’s wheel are still visible, subtle details that speak to its rural, handmade heritage.
A true French farmhouse essential, these stoneware pots were used in kitchens across France to store freshly pressed walnut oil, a staple of country cooking. This piece has survived beautifully, free from chips or cracks, and is as decorative as it is historic.
Perfect for rustic farmhouse interiors, lovers of primitive decor, or minimalist Nordic style spaces that value honest materials and timeworn textures.
