Pass the butter, please.

Wait till you hear the story behind this rare collection: It goes back to 1847, when Stanislas Renault first opened his workshop in Argent-sur-Sauldre, France. One move and 173 years later, the Poterie Renault business had stayed in the family for five generations, continuing to handcraft iconic stoneware from French clay (and even fire it all in the original kiln). Sadly, they’re closing their doors—but not before we were able to snap up a treasure trove of vintage pieces. We brought them here just for you, and they’re available exclusively at our Shop.

A dish made especially for butter? Count us in. These little pots are sized just right to hold your go-to flavor booster. (The small ones are for one or two servings, while the large are for three or four.) Oh, and just in case you wanna keep salt at the ready by the stove, they double as spice cellars, too. Each one was crafted from grey clay in the French countryside, then salt-glazed for a gleaming finish—an extra-special home for an extra-special spread.
