A French Provincial pottery jug from the 19th century with brown and orange glaze, tall narrow mouth, double handles and front spout. The generously rotund body, effortlessly tapering down to a harmonious base, is bathed in a splendid symphony of brown and orange glazes. One of the jug’s most distinctive attributes is its tall, dignified narrow mouth, which arches skyward like a sentinel. This poised Silhouette is elegantly balanced by a pair of robust double handles, their curvature reminiscent of embracing arms, bestowing the jug with both a visual and tactile sense of warmth. Just below these embracing handles, a characterful front spout protrudes, whispering tales of bygone days when such jugs were essential vessels in French Provincial homes. The spout, with its own minute arch, adds a layer of functionality and charm.
