Pair Of Large Biot Jars – 19th Century

An important pair of glazed terracotta jars from Biot, dating from the 19th century.

These large jars, once used to store olive oil or other foodstuffs, feature a magnificent ovoid shape, a wide, flanged neck, and a honey-yellow interior glaze characteristic of Biot pottery.

Over time, they have developed a superb natural patina, blending mineral tones, signs of wear, and limestone deposits, which gives them an authentic charm highly sought after by collectors and interior designers.

These beautifully proportioned pieces are ideal for an entryway, a garden, a patio, or a home with character.

Sold as a pair or separately.
