Its generously rounded body features three broad loop handles, a small pouring spout and a thick circular mouth. Hand-applied, finger-pressed clay bands run across the surface, bringing an unexpected sense of rhythm and movement to this practical vessel. Most of the original green glaze has worn away, leaving a pale, chalky patina that gives the terracotta a striking, almost stone-like appearance. Scattered patches of green glaze remain visible, while traces of moss near the base suggest years of outdoor exposure, reinforcing the jug’s beautifully weathered character.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eOriginally used to store and transport walnut oil, this substantial jug is a beautiful example of traditional French folk pottery. Its weathered surface, sculptural decoration and soft, earthy tones give it a raw, almost organic quality. Displayed on its own, perhaps beside an old wooden cabinet or on a low pedestal, it would bring an effortless sense of history and authenticity to both country homes and contemporary interiors. \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 19\" high x 14¼\" diameter \u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 48cm high x 36cm diameter\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chez Pluie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55412340097362,"sku":"26259","price":2000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1166\/6698\/files\/DSC02385_43f8eef8-234a-47ef-93fe-5eb3a0273bf1.jpg?v=1794389063","url":"https:\/\/www.chezpluie.com\/products\/large-antique-perigord-walnut-oil-jar-with-beautifully-weathered-patina-19","provider":"Chez Pluie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
