About the Item

A charming and authentic ceramic water pitcher, or 'cruche', with top handle and lid, made of ochre-glazed terracotta earthenware. Originally a piece of utilitarian kitchenware, used for transporting and storing cold water, this wonderfully charismatic tall Provençal jug retains its original pale yellow colour, and is beautifully aged and weathered.
