From the Auvergne region and dating to the 19th century, this French cruche was originally used for storing and carrying water or wine, built to move from well to table without much thought. Thrown in a warm-toned earthenware with a soft, rounded body and two pulled handles at the neck, the surface shifts from pale clay to deeper, fire-kissed browns where it met the kiln. The glaze is minimal, just enough at the top where it mattered most. Sylvie loves it in an entry with tall branches, the kind of piece that makes people ask where on earth you found it.
