French 19th Century Massive Ceramic Olive Oil Jars
$2,450.0025.75"H x 18"W x 18"D
Dimensions: 25 ¾” H x 18” W x 18” D
A pair of enormous 19th century French stoneware cruches traditionally used as a bottle or demijohn to transport and store water, oil, or wine–now artifacts of culinary history to add to one’s studio pottery collection or décor. The hand of the potter has imparted organic variation to the form with a wabi-sabi quality of utilitarian authenticity, using a salty glaze which creates movement across the (uneven) surfaces of the bottles in dramatic shifts of color from deep, earthy browns and reds to the neutral tan of the stoneware clay. The bulbous vessels use integrated handles at the top to aid in pouring liquid out of the narrow mouth that would have been corked. One cork is present. We believe this item to be in good antique condition considering its age. Please view the detailed image gallery for the current condition and message us with any questions. Sold as a pair.
