19th Century Mediterranean Pottery Jug with Yellow Glazed Rim and Handles

A vibrant 19th-century Mediterranean pottery jug featuring a rich golden yellow glaze that instantly evokes the warmth and sunlight of Southern Europe. Likely originating from Provence or Catalonia, this hand-thrown terracotta vessel was once used to store water, wine, or olive oil. The gracefully tapered form rises to a rounded shoulder and narrow neck, flanked by two arched handles that offer both balance and function. The upper third of the jug is coated in a warm honey-colored glaze with a lustrous sheen, cascading slightly down the unglazed terracotta body in a natural, time-worn patina. A few kiln marks and surface imperfections add authenticity and charm, celebrating its utilitarian past. This sculptural piece makes a statement whether styled alone as a rustic accent or grouped with other antique pottery in a modern organic interior. With its earthy tones and tactile finish, this antique jug carries the essence of the Mediterranean countryside into any space.
