Vintage French Lidded Glass Mustard Jar

A vintage French pot à moutarde, a clear glass mustard or condiment jar from Chanteduc, Patricia Wells’s home in Provence, from her personal collection. Mouth-blown glass lends a gentle swirl and luminous clarity. The rounded body rises to a broad, neatly finished rim and a domed lid with a tidy notch for a small spoon, practical for mustard, sugar, or honey. This transparent piece reflects Patricia’s preference for useful beauty, aligned with her exact, unfussy approach to cooking and teaching where condiments stay close and presentation is straightforward. It blends easily with stoneware and linens and suits both Paris and Provence habits. Put it to work at the table with Dijon, fleur de sel, or confiture, or keep it by the stove for a favorite seasoning. On a breakfast tray it is ideal for raw sugar, and in an entry or bath it becomes a graceful catchall.
