The body is shaped as a sturdy upright cylinder with a subtly rolled rim, thrown from coarse red clay and left unglazed on the exterior -- the classic approach of provincial potiers who reserved their glaze for the surfaces that needed to be sealed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat gives this pot its quiet character is the contrast between its rough, matte exterior -- carrying the natural warm ochre and sienna tones of the raw clay -- and its deep amber-brown glazed interior, which shows the speckled, slightly pooled quality of a hand-applied slip glaze fired at low temperature. White mineral deposits and a faint surface indent on one side speak to decades of honest use and storage. Today it works equally well as a utensil holder on a kitchen counter, a vase for dried grasses or a handsome accent on a shelf of collected French ceramics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age. Light mineral efflorescence on the exterior and a small surface impression on the body are visible; the glazed interior is intact and sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApprox. 4.9 in wide x 5.9 in tall (12.5 x 15 cm).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e95% of my items are tariff-free to the US.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- fmf-shopify --\u003e","brand":"Fleamarketfrance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58785660862808,"sku":"FMF-GDSFRYBU","price":160.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0895\/5776\/2392\/files\/64a23ef4614765464dcf29ce669dca6e.jpg?v=1791967146","url":"https:\/\/fleamarketfrance.com\/products\/french-antique-terracotta-jar-glazed-1410267","provider":"Fleamarketfrance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
