This traditional southern French form was designed for carrying and pouring water or wine. It is finished in a glossy, speckled glaze with striking marbled drip effects in deep blue, cream, and tobacco over warm terracotta. Stamped Vallauris to the base. In very good condition, with a tiny chip to the tip of the spout and light surface wear.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eVallauris, a renowned French pottery town on the Mediterranean coast since the 18th century, experienced a major ceramics revival in the postwar period, when workshops embraced expressive forms and glazes such as this striking marbled effect. The speckled surface and flowing glaze drips seen here are characteristic of that era, reflecting both the coastal palette and the region’s enduring craft traditions.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThis striking jug brings Mediterranean character to a kitchen shelf, dining console, or garden room. It works beautifully as a standalone accent, paired with other ceramics and natural materials, or used as a vessel for dried grasses or olive branches. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age.\u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 9½\" high x 8¼\" long 7\" wide \u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 24cm high x 21cm long 18cm wide\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chez Pluie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53186745958738,"sku":"24367","price":445.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1166\/6698\/files\/DSC00731_67e26a8d-1779-467f-9d45-1e1c36e025dd.jpg?v=1776084628","url":"https:\/\/www.chezpluie.com\/products\/1950s-vallauris-glazed-earthenware-water-jug-w-stunning-marbled-glaze-91-2","provider":"Chez Pluie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
