Glazed earthenware jug signed aegitna – vallauris – southern sun yellow

Authentic glazed terracotta jug, signed aegitna vallauris, a renowned workshop in the south of france. This characterful piece is a true representative of southern ceramics from the 1950s to 1970s. Its deep, almost solar yellow glaze captures the light and evokes the markets of provence, morning olives, and generous tables. The arched tubular handle and the spout testify to its original use—probably water or wine—but today, it lends itself readily to a decorative display: a few olive branches or a bouquet of dried herbs and it radiates.
