Large terracotta jug

Charming and authentic 19th-century ceramic water jug with top and side handles and a pouring spout. Originally, it was a utilitarian kitchen utensil, used to carry and store cold water. This large, charming Provençal jug is half-glazed in the traditional manner and would have been buried in fresh earth or sand to keep its contents cool. This magnificent piece of rustic pottery retains its original pale yellow color and is beautifully aged and weathered. Dimensions: 32 cm including the handle and diameter: 25 cm. Very good overall condition. Antique objects show signs of age or wear, with small imperfections that give them their character and authenticity (visible in photos).
