Its substantial rounded form creates a strong garden feature, while the restrained blue-green finish gives it a lighter and more contemporary character than traditional darker glazed pottery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe celadon glaze has a naturally varied appearance, moving between pale blue, sea-green and soft mineral-grey tones. Small areas of exposed terracotta and irregular glaze movement remain visible around the neck and rolled rim, reflecting the individual way each piece is finished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandmade in Anduze in the South of France by Le Chêne Vert, the jar is formed using traditional pottery techniques. Its bulbous body, narrow opening and broad rim follow the distinctive proportions associated with classic French Biot pottery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in two substantial sizes, this is a statement garden pot designed for entrances, courtyards, terraces, pool areas and larger landscaped spaces. It can be displayed unplanted as sculptural pottery or used for established feature planting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features of This Celadon Biot Jar\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthentic French Biot jar handmade in Anduze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft celadon glaze with blue-green tonal variation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarm antiqued terracotta body with artisan markings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraditional rounded form with a narrow neck and rolled rim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in large 80cm and 100cm heights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for decorative display or substantial planting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Softer Interpretation of Traditional French Pottery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pale celadon collar gives this jar a calm, understated appearance. It introduces colour without the visual weight of a darker glaze, allowing the substantial Biot form to sit comfortably within both traditional and contemporary landscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination works particularly well with pale limestone, natural timber, concrete, rendered walls and silver-green foliage. It is an excellent choice for coastal gardens, Mediterranean courtyards and modern Australian homes where softer colours are preferred.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Traditional Rounded Biot Form\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrench Biot jars are distinguished by their generous bulbous bodies, narrower necks and pronounced rims. The shape developed from traditional Mediterranean vessels once used to store olives, olive oil and other provisions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, the same proportions give the jar its sculptural presence. The broad body anchors the surrounding landscape, while the narrower opening keeps the overall appearance balanced and refined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesigned for Scale and Structure\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 80cm or 100cm high, this is a genuinely large French garden pot. A single jar can create a focal point at the end of a pathway, against a rendered wall or within an open courtyard. A matching pair can be used to frame an entrance or introduce symmetry to a larger landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe generous internal volume also provides space for feature plants such as citrus, olive trees, topiary and other established specimens. Alternatively, the jar can remain unplanted and be appreciated as a piece of handmade garden sculpture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNatural Variation in the Celadon Glaze\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery jar is glazed and finished individually. Variations in colour, glaze movement, surface texture and artisan markings are therefore expected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome pieces may appear more blue, while others show greener, greyer or more translucent areas. Small sections of exposed terracotta may also remain visible through the finish. These characteristics are part of the handmade pottery and ensure each jar has an individual appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have a particular colour balance in mind, please contact us before ordering. We can provide photographs of available stock to help you select your preferred jar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSuitable for Australian Outdoor Areas\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis glazed terracotta Biot jar is designed for outdoor use and is suitable for most Australian conditions. The substantial weight gives it excellent stability when positioned in courtyards, gardens and landscaped outdoor areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough traditional French terracotta is not classified as completely frost-proof in extreme climates, the severe European-style frosts that can affect glazed pottery are generally uncommon throughout most populated areas of Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGlaze Crazing and Product Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFine crazing is a natural characteristic of glazed terracotta. It may become more visible over time as minerals from water or potting mix collect within the glaze lines. This is part of the natural ageing of traditionally glazed pottery rather than a product fault.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClean the jar with mild soapy water and a soft cloth or soft-bristled brush. Avoid harsh chemicals, pressure cleaning and abrasive products that may affect the handmade surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAvailable Sizes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSmall – D65cm x H80cm\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLarge – D80cm x H100cm\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications by Size\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSmall (D65cm x H80cm)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 75.0 kg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOpening Diameter:\u003c\/b\u003e 29.0 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBase Diameter:\u003c\/b\u003e 33.0 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInternal Volume:\u003c\/b\u003e 166.0 L\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLarge (D80cm x H100cm)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 130.0 kg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOpening Diameter:\u003c\/b\u003e 35.0 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBase Diameter:\u003c\/b\u003e 37.0 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInternal Volume:\u003c\/b\u003e 304.0 L\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGeneral Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Glazed Terracotta\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eColour:\u003c\/b\u003e Celadon on Antiqued Base\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrand:\u003c\/b\u003e Le Chêne Vert Anduze Pottery\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/b\u003e Anduze, France\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDrainage Hole:\u003c\/b\u003e Yes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eUV Resistant:\u003c\/b\u003e Yes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrost Resistance:\u003c\/b\u003e Suitable for most Australian climates\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to the handmade nature of this authentic French pottery, variations in glaze, colour, texture, surface markings and dimensions may occur.
