19th-century green glazed water pitcher - Provence 9¾"

A charming green glazed cruche orjol from southwest France. Dating from the nineteenth century, ewers like these were used for fetching water from the village fountain for domestic use. The form features two handles flanking either side of the opening at the top. The wide handles are similar in shape with the difference being one features a pouring spout.

Note the delightful wear to glaze and handles from use as seen in photos. The bottom is also worn from repeated pouring over time. A wonderful treasure from the south of France to add to a collection of French pottery.
