Large Four Lugged French Olive Jar Planter

A fabulous size planter, this ceramic French olive jar is over half a metre tall and dates to the early 20th century. - Four lugs or handles. - Lovely cream colour, with a smooth glossy glaze. - Ridged ring design in the ceramic around the top of the body. - Stamped with "3F 70" in two places and "22 J9" into the ceramic, these presumably relating to the olive harvest from their original use. - Two holes drilled into the bottom to allow drainage when in use as a planter. This will look wonderful with a small bay tree or other large plant, either outside or in a large conservatory. In good condition showing wear consistent with age and use.
