This large antique French gargoulette is a classic example of Provençal pottery, handcrafted in the late 19th century or beginning of the 20th Century. Featuring a rounded terracotta form, an arched carrying handle, and a side spout, this jug was traditionally used for storing and cooling water in Mediterranean homes.

The upper portion is glazed in a warm ochre yellow, contrasting with the natural unglazed terracotta base, a signature detail of authentic French farmhouse ceramics. The hand-applied glaze has aged gracefully over time, revealing a patina that tells the story of its use and history.

Whether styled as a decorative sculptural piece, a statement Mediterranean vase, or a collector’s terracotta artifact, this antique French gargoulette offers a unique connection to traditional craftsmanship.

A rare and timeless collector’s piece, perfect for those drawn to rustic interiors, European pottery, and Mediterranean aesthetics.
