A 19th century French glazed stoneware jar with two applied handles, a robust and sculptural example of traditional French pottery. Standing over 26 inches tall, the jar carries a rich glaze that has weathered attractively, with the variations in tone and surface that distinguish genuine utilitarian pottery from modern imitations. Vessels of this scale were originally made for provisioning, and their generous forms have made them favorites of designers ever since: effective flanking a doorway, anchoring a garden step, or standing alone on a console or floor as sculpture. In good used condition with wear consistent with age, it suits both authentic period settings and clean contemporary rooms, where its earthy texture provides welcome contrast.
