Generous in scale, each is wheel-thrown with a rounded ovoid body, pronounced shoulder, opposing lug handles, and a pretty flared collar neck. The surfaces carry a pale straw yellow lead glaze with natural tonal variation. These village-made pots belong to the southern French tradition of glazed terre cuite, where rural ateliers produced practical storage vessels for the kitchen and pantry.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eForms of this type served for olives, cornichons, and other conserves, the wide collar accommodating cloth or waxed covers while the small lugs aided lifting. Surviving as a true pair, they speak to regional savoir-faire and everyday craft. Ideal as cachepots for topiaries or herbs, they suit a kitchen island, console, or fireplace hearth, bringing soft Provençal warmth to French Country, Mediterranean, and rustic-modern interiors. For fresh flowers, place a watertight liner inside to account for the drainage holes and to protect surfaces. Their mellow yellow glaze and sculptural profiles make a harmonious statement whether displayed together or flanking an entry. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition and wear consistent with age and use.\u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 12½\" high x 11\" wide x 11\" deep \u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 32cm high x 28cm wide x 28cm deep\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chez Pluie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53961380102482,"sku":"24973","price":2295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1166\/6698\/files\/DSC08921_26cf220f-6669-4e6b-9140-02889d0ba0a5.jpg?v=1783594619","url":"https:\/\/www.chezpluie.com\/products\/rare-pair-of-large-pale-yellow-glazed-preserving-crocks-121-2","provider":"Chez Pluie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
