19th -century Orjol from southwest France - yellow 13"

Dating from the nineteenth century, a charming yellow demi glazed Orjol cruche from southwest France. Ewers like these were used for fetching water from the village fountain for domestic use. The form features two handles flanking either side of the opening at the top.

One handle features a twisted form and the other features a spout. Note the wear to glaze and handles from use as seen in photos. The bottom is worn from repeated pouring over time. A delightful piece to add to a collection of French pottery.
