Antique Provencal Clay Pot

I saw this antique piece of clay pottery made out of ochre clay in a shop.

Pottery of Provence

The colors of Provence are reflected in the buildings and the pottery, and indeed life. These Provecale pieces of pottery reflect the blue sky, the ochre, the red poppies and the terracotta ground. The colour of the soil has gotten in their blood (or is it vice versa).
