Couldn't load pickup availability
With authentic farmhouse kitchen charm, this traditional cornichons pot complete with its lid is a lovely decorative and practical piece for a country kitchen, dresser, open shelf or rustic French-inspired interior.
Sourced from a traditional French brocante market, this earthenware jar was originally used for serving or storing cornichons, the small pickled gherkins that are a staple of French cooking. Likely dating from the 1960s/70s, and possibly earlier, it was handcrafted as part of the Chaumière, or Cottage, range by the renowned Desvres Dutertre Faïence pottery in northern France. The loose-fitting lid has the traditional cut-out section for tongs or a spoon, not included, making it instantly recognisable as a classic French cornichons pot.
