A wonderfully simple French clay jug, likely from the Normandy region.
Honest in form and finish, it’s the kind of piece that sat on farmhouse tables for decades - used daily, without fuss. The pulled handle and hand-thrown imperfections add to its quiet charm. Perfect with a few dried stems or just as it is.
