Delightful & rare fully glazed green antique cruche - stamped Vallauris 10¼"

Dating from the end of the nineteenth to early twentieth century, this delightful and rare fully glazed green cruche is stamped Vallauris underneath, a distinguished pottery region in the south of France. Glazed terracotta ewers like these were used for fetching water from the village fountain for domestic use. This piece would be the perfect addition to an existing collection of pottery or to add a special touch of French to your home.
