This striking traditional water jug from the region of Montpellier in southern France enchants with its warm ochre enamel. Its classic rounded belly and narrow neck are framed by two graceful arched handles, one of which cleverly incorporates the spout, creating a balanced and practical silhouette. The surface is richly detailed with raised enamel drops and areas of enamel loss, adding visual interest and authentic character.
This distinctive shape of water jug is known as an orjol, typical of the region around Montpellier and traditionally used to fetch water at the village fountain. It embodies the authentic charm and robust beauty of French rural utilitarian design. The rich ochre hue evokes the sunlit warmth of Provence.
This orjol can serve as a striking vase for tall branches or an eye-catching standalone piece in your living space. Its rustic elegance will beautifully complement both traditional and contemporary interiors, infusing them with a touch of French heritage.
