Vintage French Country Blue Enamel Water Jug

Embrace the art of French living with this charming Vintage French Country Blue Enamel Water Jug — a piece that tells a story, and brings beauty to the everyday. This large jug embodies the timeless charm and simple elegance of Provençal life. Its iconic French blue color and time-worn patina tell a story of decades of use carrying fresh water from the well to gracing a family's kitchen table.  Jugs like this were also used to bring milk from the stalls to the kitchen.

Made of heavy-gauge metal and a thick layer of enamel, this jug was built to last. The exterior boasts a beautiful, vibrant cornflower blue—the "bleu de travail" characteristic of vintage French workwear and utility items. The interior has a grey graniteware finish. This has acquired a beautiful, honest patina over the decades, with characteristic chips and marks in the enamel, these are not flaws but testaments to its history and authenticity. These imperfections are coveted by collectors and designers as they add layers of character that simply cannot be reproduced.

  • Measures 10" x 8-1/2" x 15-7/8"h.
