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

Finished in a traditional ochre-yellow glaze, with a bold, pinched pouring spout. Its tall and elongated form with sharply tapering base is highly unusual for French farmhouse pottery, making this pot a rare and distinctive example within 19th-century utilitarian ceramics

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.
