A Rustic Gem from Brittany's Pottery Heritage
Authentic 19th Century French Cider Bottle
Step back in time with this beautiful antique French type 2 cider bottle, known as a "Bouteille Longue" or "Long Bottle." Crafted in the late 19th century in the traditional potteries of Ger (Manche), Mortainais, or Domfrontais, this stunning piece was handmade from terracotta clay sourced from the famous Goulande sandstone quarry. The use of a stick lathe during its creation lends it a charming, primitive rustic appearance, while the wood kiln firing process results in beautiful orange and red blooms across its surface. This bottle captures the essence of French countryside artistry, making it a perfect addition to any rustic home decor or French farmhouse aesthetic.
Versatile and Unique Decor Piece
This striking French bottle is ideal for a variety of decorative uses. Its history as a cider or Perry bottle from Brittany gives it a unique story and texture, perfect for standing alone as a statement piece or repurposing as a bud vase. Whether placed in your kitchen, dining room, or living area, this antique bottle adds a distinct rustic charm to any space. With its earthy tones and authentic timeworn character, it complements French country decor, coastal interiors, or even minimalist modern homes looking for a touch of warmth.
