Antique French Boit Pot

These wonderfully decorative boit pots originate from France in the 1800's and are Terracotta. 

These highly collectable urns have beautifully muted tones and date from the 1890s. Historically they would have been used to store olive oil then later were used to store grain, they would have originally had lid or stopper.

Due to their robust nature, they have survived the passage of time in kitchens, gardens and barns all over France. The pots will typically be cracked and historic repairs may be evident. 

Perfect left empty as a sculptural item on a console table or a wooden plinth - or fill them with blossom branches, cow parsley or poppies. Please note that these vessels are not waterproof and if using for fresh flowers you would need to insert a waterproof liner.

Please expect cracks and damage to the glaze, repaired cracks and chips. Their beauty is in their imperfect nature.
