Hanging terracotta, marbled, Provençal or Catalan pottery jar

Here is a magnificent terracotta ceramic with a shimmering glaze in dark green and chocolate tones on a yellow background, typical of Provençal or Catalan pottery (perhaps Aparicio in La Bisbal). It's a wall-mounted plant pot with a hole in the back. It also has a barely visible hole on the lower tip at the front to drain excess water. Perfect in a veranda (personally, I wouldn't put it outside, unless I live in a frost-free region) and why not in the home as a decorative element in its own right or decorated with a bouquet of dried flowers. It's difficult to date it, as it's so typical of these regions that it was probably offered by potters for a long time. Only the slight cracks in the glaze can tell us that it's not very recent, perhaps from the 1980s or 1990s, because otherwise it's in perfect condition, with no cracks or chips. It measures 30 cm in height and approximately 21 cm in maximum width.
