Authentic 19th-century French terracotta water jug, traditionally known as a creche a eau, featuring a rich green glaze and classic double-handle form. Originally used for storing and cooling water, this utilitarian vessel now serves as a striking decorative accent with undeniable Old World charm.
The glaze shows beautiful age-related wear and areas of exposed terracotta, revealing the clay beneath and enhancing the piece's rustic authenticity. Hand-thrown with a pleasing rounded form, this jug embodies the timeless appeal of French provincial pottery and works beautifully in French country, farmhouse, or Europena-inspired interiors.
A wonderful statement piece for display on a console shelf, kitchen counter, or styled as a rustic vase or indoor planter. France circa 1850.
Pair this piece with other antique French pottery available in my shop for a cohesive French country look. Happy to extend bundle price if you are interested in more than one piece.
