Pair of Denbac French Art Nouveau Wine Jugs with Bosses and Dripping Olive and Tan Glazing (LEO Design)

"This is one of the disadvantages of wine: it makes a man mistake words for thoughts"   -   Samuel Johnson

Gothic "bosses" punctuate the perimeter of this pair of French Art Nouveau wine jugs made by Denbac, c. 1910's.  An earthy, mottled tan finish is topped with an organic, dripping olive glaze. Wine jugs such as these were de rigueur on any French lunch or dinner table. Revive the tradition at your summer table al fresco. Click on the photo above to learn more about them.
