We consider the interquark potential in the one-gluon-exchange (OGE) approximation, using a fully nonperturbative gluon propagator from large-volume lattice simulations. The resulting VLGP potential is non-confining, showing that the OGE approximation is not sufficient to describe the infrared sector of QCD. Nevertheless, it represents an improvement over the perturbative (Coulomb-like) potential, since it allows the description of a few low-lying bound states of charmonium and bottomonium. In order to achieve a better description of these spectra, we add to VLGP a linearly growing term. The obtained results are comparable to the corresponding ones in the Cornell-potential case. As a byproduct of our study, we estimate the interquark distance for the considered charmonium and bottomonium states.
