A pair of stoneware mustard pots from the French countryside — one brown, one cream — grouped on a shelf or pressed back into use for salt, spices, or a few cut stems by the sink.
Salt-glazed stoneware, thick-walled and weighted in the hand. One pot keeps its original cork lid. The two glazes sit well together: a warm brown and a soft cream, each with the faint tonal shift that hand-glazing leaves. Bottom diameter around 10 cm, narrowing to 7.5 cm at the top, 7.5 cm tall.
French stoneware pots like these were made by regional potteries through the mid-century to hold mustard and preserves, sold full and kept long after. Salt-glaze stoneware was the everyday vessel of the French kitchen — fired hard, glazed simply, built to be refilled rather than replaced. These have outlasted their original purpose.
