This 18th-century terracotta oil pot originates from the Auvergne region of France and was traditionally used for storing and pouring walnut oil—a common practice in rural French households during that period.
Hand-crafted in terracotta with a natural warm glaze, the piece shows a rich surface patina developed over centuries. Its wear, glaze variations, and subtle imperfections tell the story of its long and practical use. The pot features two handles and a functional spout, making it as visually striking as it is historically significant.
Today, it serves as a beautiful decorative object in rustic, country, or Mediterranean-style interiors. Ideal for display in a kitchen, on open shelving, or used as a sculptural accent in a cabinet or console arrangement.
A rare and authentic piece of French rural heritage that adds soul and texture to any space.
