{"product_id":"rustic-french-earthenware-fromage-faiselle-cheese-mold","title":"Pair of 19th Century French Ceramic Cheese Strainers","description":"\u003cp\u003eFound at a brocante in the South of France, this antique French faisselle pair tells a wonderful story of old country kitchens and handmade cheese. The larger piece is a glazed moule à fromage (cheese mold), while the smaller one feels older and more primitive, hand thrown in terracotta and pierced by hand for draining fresh curds into soft fromage faisselle (fresh French cheese).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe larger mold carries a rich dark brown glaze with evenly spaced drainage holes running around the body, while the smaller example still shows traces of orange ochre slip against its darker clay surface. Together, the contrast between the refined glaze and the rougher handmade pottery is what makes the pair so good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese look fantastic together next to the kitchen sink either holding fresh herbs or your kitchen cleaning utensils. They look spectacular in the guest bathroom with old soaps tucked inside. Two generations of humble French dairy pottery sitting side by side, both with real age and character. Plus, they made cheese once. Delicious. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52439749820759,"sku":"CER-054","price":165.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/rustic-french-earthenware-fromage-faiselle-cheese-mold-2.jpg?v=1767287148","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/rustic-french-earthenware-fromage-faiselle-cheese-mold","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
