Jug - Greskruik ( Frankrijk ) 18e eeuw - volledig intact - Stoneware

This is an antique French salt-glazed stoneware (gres) jug, dating from the late 18th century, but possibly slightly earlier. Such jugs were typically used for storing liquids such as water, gin, or olive oil.

Features

Dimensions: 32.1 cm high / 20.1 cm diameter

Material: The jug is made of stoneware, a durable type of pottery.

Glaze technique: The surface has a characteristic salt glaze. This process creates a glossy, translucent texture that often exhibits small irregularities, resembling orange peel.

Appearance: The jug has a rustic, authentic look with signs of natural aging. The red blush and the dark spot are unique features that developed during the baking process in the oven and contribute to the piece's authentic, primitive character.

Design: It has a traditional egg-shaped (ovoid) form with a flaring spout and a simple, attached handle.
