French ceramic olive oil cruet / bottle, mid-century, featuring a two-tone cobalt blue and white glazed finish with an integrated handle and pouring spout. The front is decorated with the inscription “dolfi 70 cl.”, indicating a 70-centiliter capacity. The base shows a “Made in France” backstamp. This style was commonly produced for kitchen and table service, combining functional stoneware with modernist French design.
The bottle was intended for storing and serving olive oil or vinegar. Its tall neck helps control pouring, while the glazed ceramic body protects contents from light. The striking cobalt blue upper section is characteristic of French utilitarian ceramics from the period.
This ceramic bottle is in very good condition.
Measures: 8 1/2” tall x 4” wide

These are authentic pieces sourced during my recent buying trip to England. I have been sourcing these wonderful vintage pieces for over 12 years from people who are actually digging them up in ancient rubbish sites all over England. I purchased my first antique Advertising pot when my husband and I had the wonderful opportunity to live in England in the 1980’s. Our daughter was born there and we enjoyed living in England so much we often went back to visit after returning to the US.
Interestingly, this same daughter’s husbands job moved them to London were we have enjoyed visiting our grandchildren and traveling the countryside antiquing.
On our many visits we have became friends with many of the “diggers” excavating the ancient dumpsites all over the UK and now source thousands of pots from them every year. I still love the charm they add to every room they are placed in.
Returns are not accepted on these rare authentic pieces but please contact if you have any questions.
