{"product_id":"french-antique-green-glazed-colander-with-plate","title":"Antique French Berry Drainer Set | Green Glazed Earthenware | Mid 20th Century","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe fact that the underplate survived with the bowl is what makes this set interesting. Most antique French fruit drainers, or passoires à fruits (fruit strainers), seem to lose their matching plate somewhere along the way. This one did not. Together they still work exactly as intended, the perforated bowl draining above while the plate catches the water below. Simple, practical design that has not needed much improvement over the years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bowl itself is full of the details I like to see in country-style pottery. The drainage holes were pierced by hand, not measured or machine-spaced, which gives the pattern a wonderfully natural feel. Turning rings from the wheel remain visible underneath, while the foot ring reveals the warm terracotta clay. The deep copper-green glaze is beautiful, seeming dark around the exterior and brightening to a fresher green inside the bowl. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaybe you can picture this sitting beside the sink with freshly washed strawberries, cherries, or apricots from the market. It would love to help wash fresh blueberries too... \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith both the bowl and plate in excellent condition together, you get the complete experience rather than half of it. This set is ready for use in your kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52274948538711,"sku":"CER-058","price":325.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/french-antique-green-glazed-colander-with-plate-2.jpg?v=1764771658","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/french-antique-green-glazed-colander-with-plate","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
