Rustic Cornichons Pot, Herrandiz Spanish Porcelain Vintage Gherkin Jar (C4)

This is a traditional porcelain cornichons pot with a wooden lid in a vintage style marked on the base as Herrandiz porcelain Made in Spain. This likely dates from 1970/80s, maybe a little earlier. The lid is wooden and loose fitting, it sits on top rather than a snug fit, not uncommon for cornichons jar; It has the French word Cornichons inscribed on the front. Cornichons are dilled gherkins, not sweet gherkins. If a recipe calls for cornichons, it is referring to the dilled variety of gherkins popular in French cooking. This vintage porcelain jar would look great in any country style, farmhouse or vintage inspired kitchen. It is in a good used condition with just a tiny nibble at the base as shown, however, no cracks. Although made in Spain, this was bought at a traditional French brocante market; these type of jars are very popular in France and widely collected on the continent.
All the items we sell are used or vintage and show signs of a previous life, this is part of their unique French shabby chic appeal.
