{"product_id":"19th-century-french-water-jug-with-yellow-glaze","title":"19th Century French Water Jug with Yellow Glaze","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA French cruche, or water jug, from the southwest of France, its upper half glazed in bright yellow over warm terracotta. A tall loop handle arches over the wide mouth for carrying, and a second handle curves from the shoulder opposite a short spout. Jugs like this were carried out to the fields to keep workers supplied with water. Water poured from the spout, and the unglazed lower body let a little moisture escape to keep it cool. The glaze has a fine crazing, and a pale band of slip marks where it meets the clay. It is lovely on a kitchen counter, a console, or a windowsill, holding a few stems or simply on its own.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eOrigin: Southwest France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAge: 19th century\u003cspan class=\"apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eMaterial: Terracotta with yellow lead glaze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eDetails: Arched carrying handle, side handle, short spout, wide mouth, glazed upper body, unglazed foot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eDimensions: 8.25\"W (handle to spout) × 10\"H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eCondition: \u003cspan\u003eGood antique condition with crazing to the glaze.
