19th c. Biot Pot

This isn’t just a jar, it’s Provence royalty. Historically crafted in the village of Biot, these thick-rimmed terracotta vessels were once the backbone of Mediterranean life, used to store olive oil, wine, and grain in cool stone kitchens and courtyards. Their rounded belly and narrow base weren’t just pretty—they made the jars easy to move, often rolled across fields or tucked into cellars to keep provisions fresh. This 19th century biot carries the patina of centuries, with pock marks, chips, and a time-earned crack that prove it’s lived a full life. Collectors know Biot jars like this often fetch thousands, so let’s just say if you’ve been waiting for your Provençal moment, here it is. Sylvie would let it stand tall in a hallway, cradle wild branches, or simply flex as the statement piece it’s always been destined to be.
