Bring home a piece of true rural French history with this large 18th Century antique flagon, handmade from salt glazed terracotta. Village made and wood fired, this rustic French jar features a classic bulbous form, a moulded spout, a strap handle, and an elegant Bellarmine style neck, typical of the period.
The natural clay body is rich with textural inclusions, complete with subtle finger pushes and marks left by the potter authentic signs of its handcrafted provincial origin. Originally used to store walnut oil, wine, or even paint, its cool interior made it ideal for rural life and daily use.
Now, this striking piece makes a standout display item for lovers of French country interiors, primitive kitchenware, or wabi sabi style décor. Its organic texture and form give it character and timeless beauty. Style it on an open shelf, use it as a rustic vase, or display it solo for an earthy focal point.
