The pale terracotta exterior is darkened from years near the hearth, while the honey-brown glazed interior brings that warm kitchen glow old southern French pottery does so well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pot à cuire, or cooking pot, likely dates from the late 19th to early 20th century. It has a wide low form, two hand-pulled lug handles and an unglazed exterior. It's the kind of pot that would have been used almost every day in a southern French kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rim shows small chips and glaze wear, while the underside carries soot and wire-cut marks from the potter’s wheel. Today, I would enjoy it decoratively with lemons, limes, folded antique linens or dried herbs. It has the quiet beauty of a real hearth piece that earned every bit of its patina.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52562206130519,"sku":"CER-085","price":325.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/antique-french-terracotta-fire-pot-with-handles-2.jpg?v=1788803656","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/en-us\/products\/18th-or-early-19th-century-french-terracotta-fire-pot","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
