{"product_id":"early-1900s-vallauris-terracotta-poele-with-stamp","title":"Antique French Poêlon | Vallauris Glazed Earthenware | Late 19th to Early 20th Century","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis antique French poêlon has everything you want to see in old Provençal kitchen pottery. Likely made in Vallauris in the late 19th or early 20th century, it carries the classic form that defined generations of southern French cooking: a shallow bowl, a small pouring lip, and the iconic hollow handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe glaze is what really pulls you in here. Warm caramel ochre on the outside, with a deeper red brown glaze across the inside. There is an impressed oval maker’s mark on the side of the body, and underneath you can still see the dark fire wear from decades spent over an open flame. This piece was not decorative pottery. It worked for a living.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA poêlon like this was made for slow, simple cooking. Garlic gently softening in olive oil, eggs in butter, a small daube simmering low for hours. You can feel that history in the surface. Stack it with other terracotta cooking pans like this on the counter for a striking display. It immediately brings that relaxed Provençal kitchen feeling into the room. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52600089182551,"sku":"KWE-017","price":361.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/late-19th-century-vallauris-handled-earthenware-poele-2.jpg?v=1769013785","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/early-1900s-vallauris-terracotta-poele-with-stamp","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
