Step back into rustic French country life with this striking Antique Betschdorf Flagon, handmade in the Alsace region of France between 1860 and 1880. Traditionally used to store walnut oil or wine, this large flagon is a beautiful example of 19th-century Alsatian salt-glazed stoneware.
Crafted in cool grey stoneware with a softly textured salt-glazed finish, it features distinctive hand painted cobalt blue floral decorations and a generous rounded form. With its wide belly, curved handle, and expressive detailing, it captures the charm of the French country kitchen aesthetic perfectly.
Though originally a practical vessel for storing liquids, its appeal today lies in its decorative presence. Whether styled on a farmhouse dresser, as a primitive kitchen centrepiece, or as a unique floor vase for dried flowers, this piece brings authentic continental rustic style into any space.
