{"product_id":"early-1900s-french-earthenware-teapot-with-strainer","title":"Antique French Stoneware Coffee Pot | Salt-Glazed Grès with Infuser | Mid 20th Century","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis antique French stoneware coffee pot is one of those pieces that feels complete in the best possible way. Found at a brocante in the South of France, it still retains all three original parts: the salt glazed grès (stoneware) body, the conical lid with its pierced finial, and the terracotta passoire (infuser cup) tucked neatly inside the neck. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLikely produced in the mid 20th century, it has all the warmth and practicality of regional French country pottery from that period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original infuser is what really sets this one apart. Most surviving cafetières like this lost their passoire decades ago, but here it is still intact and fully usable, finely pierced across the base and lifting out cleanly for filling and cleaning. The salt glaze has that wonderful chestnut and amber coloring with the soft orange peel texture that comes from traditional high fire kilns. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the kind of pottery that belongs on a real kitchen table. Fill it with coarse coffee or loose tea, set it beside fresh bread and fruit on a slow morning, and it still does exactly what it was made to do. Even sitting empty on open shelving, the shape alone has a quiet presence to it. Finding an antique French cafetière with all three original pieces still together is getting genuinely difficult, especially one with this much character.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52600060576087,"sku":"CER-079","price":425.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/turn-of-the-century-ceramic-teapot-handmade-tea-pottery-2.jpg?v=1769013132","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/early-1900s-french-earthenware-teapot-with-strainer","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
