The glazed stoneware boîte à sel murale (wall mounted salt box) is formed with a richly detailed basket weave body beneath an arched backplate centered by a Gothic style G and D monogram.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLikely dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, the piece carries the practical elegance typical of regional French pottery made for everyday use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted in salt glazed grès (stoneware clay), the surface has developed warm honey amber tones with darker speckling throughout that gives antique French stoneware its unmistakable depth and texture. The basket weave relief remains beautifully crisp, framed by a twisted rope border running along the upper edge. On the reverse, the unglazed clay body reveals soft tan earthen tones beneath the glaze, adding another layer of visual warmth and authenticity to the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally designed to keep gros sel (coarse salt crystals) close at hand for the cook, this antique French wall salt cellar still feels entirely at home in a modern kitchen. Hung above a counter, placed on open shelving, or styled with dried lavender or rosemary from the garden, it brings an immediate sense of Provençal character and collected charm to a space. A beautiful addition for interiors that appreciate old French pottery, natural textures, and everyday objects with enduring presence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52904303984983,"sku":"CER-005","price":365.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/antique-french-terracotta-salt-box-wall-2.jpg?v=1772437435","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/vintage-french-wall-salt-box-boite-a-sel-rustic-farmhouse-kitchen","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
