Renowned for its graceful curves, the Biot jar is a treasured relic from the sun-drenched region of Biot in southern France.

The rustic surface reflects sun-kissed landscapes, with variations in color and texture that tell stories of its history and the artisan’s craftsmanship. A yellow glaze around the neck contrasts subtly with the body, enhanced by striking drip effects. While rooted in history, this Biot jar seamlessly fits both traditional and contemporary settings. Use it as a stand-alone statement piece or pair it with fresh blooms as a vase, bringing warm, earthy character to any space. Its robust construction makes it enchanting for both indoor decor and outdoor use, evoking the beauty of a French country garden.
