18th Century Biot Jarre

VG11094

Description

Details

An attractive example of an 18th-century Biot jar. "Biot" is a style of pottery which dates back to the 16th century, named for the town where they originated, near Cannes in the south of France.

"Jarres de Biot" (biot jars) are handmade from a mixture of red and grey clay. They are distinctive for their shape and the drips of glaze tumbling down them, known as "mother-in-laws' tears". They were used to preserve olives or store flour. 

This one has some minor frost damage on one side(hence the price) and would be best used inside as a decorative item.
