{"product_id":"antique-french-terracotta-poelon-hearth-pan-circa-1800","title":"Antique French Poêlon | Aubagne Terracotta | Yellow Glaze | Late 18th C","description":"\u003cp\u003eFound at a brocante in the South of France, this antique French poêlon (hearth cooking pan) is the kind of pottery that once sat beside the fire in nearly every Provençal kitchen. Shallow and wide with a short hollow handle, it was made for slow cooking. Likely from Aubagne or the surrounding region, consistent with late 18th to early 19th century Provençal pottery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe glaze is fantastic. Warm ochre yellow with scattered green accents that nod loosely toward the jaspé (marbled slipware) tradition, all softened by age and use. The iconic tubular handle was designed to take a wooden rod so the cook could manage the pan over the fire without burning a hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnderneath, dark scorch marks still remain from years beside the hearth, while inside, a few areas of glaze loss likely came from moisture freezing long ago in storage. The wear feels completely appropriate to the age of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the kind of old pottery that quietly anchors a kitchen once it is there. Set it beside copper, wood, and stone and the color alone warms the whole room. Early Provençal poêlons with this much age and character become a talking piece in any modern kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52498637259095,"sku":"CER-052","price":805.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/antique-french-terracotta-poelon-hearth-pan-circa-1800-2.jpg?v=1767896678","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/antique-french-terracotta-poelon-hearth-pan-circa-1800","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
