Originally in the south of France, in the village of Biot, during the fifteenth century the potters started to makes jarres in the form of an olive or a goutte (“drop”). These jarres, used for transporting foodstuffs by boat, were made using the “coil” technique. Today, the jarres replicate the ancient forms and are rope-turned by hand (“tournage à la corde”).

The glazed collar, garland and the patina are unique to each piece. The Teardrop jar is shown in the foreground.
