This is probably the most important piece of pottery ever sourced, and trust us when we say, they are becoming increasingly rare as time goes on. To cut to the chase, we priced this very fairly. We want her to find a home that will cherish her. This 19th-century French Biot jar was crafted in the small village of Biot nestled in the hills of the Cote D'azur. These pots were traditionally used to store olives and other provisions, their rounded, bulbous form designed to protect contents from the intense Mediterranean heat. Now, Sylvie loves this pot indoor or outdoor, styled alone or with plants.
