A richly glazed antique French gargoulette— two-handled terracotta water jug with side spout, originating from Southwest France and dating to the late 19th or early 20th century.

Finished in a traditional green-yellow glaze, with a bold, pinched pouring spout and round, tapering body reflect traditional craftsmanship, with surface glaze drips and hand-formed irregularities enhancing its rustic aesthetic. The interior is glazed in warm ochre tones, and the unglazed base shows the raw earthenware beneath. The jug’s silhouette offers sculptural appeal for farmhouse, rustic, or Mediterranean interiors. It works beautifully as a standalone decorative object or functional statement piece. Suitable for styling on a reclaimed wooden console, antique buffet, or tabletop display in a French-inspired interior.
