Vintage French Olive Green Stoneware Casserole Pot with Lid

A beautiful piece of traditional French kitchenware, full of rustic charm and character.

Bring a touch of the French countryside into your home with this wonderfully substantial vintage French stoneware casserole pot, finished in a gorgeous deep olive-green glaze.

With its rounded body, two sturdy side handles and beautifully shaped domed lid, this is exactly the sort of traditional pottery that looks at home in a rustic French farmhouse kitchen.

The rich green glaze has lovely variations in tone, catching the light beautifully and giving the pot a warm, earthy appearance. The contrasting brown tones around the rim add another layer of character, complementing its traditional country kitchen styling.

Its generous proportions make it a wonderful statement piece, whether displayed on open kitchen shelving, a farmhouse dresser or a rustic wooden worktop.

Traditional French Country Kitchen Pottery

French stoneware has long been appreciated for its practicality, durability and understated beauty.

This lovely lidded pot has all the characteristics we associate with traditional French country pottery – a reassuringly solid form, simple functional handles and a beautiful glazed finish.

The underside bears the impressed number 35005, an interesting detail of its manufacture.

Although originally designed in the style of traditional kitchen cooking and storage vessels, we particularly love these old pots as decorative pieces. They look wonderful alongside vintage French breadboards, earthenware jugs, old copper pans and other rustic kitchen treasures.

Why We Like It

It's the colour that really makes this one special.

That beautiful olive-green glaze has a wonderfully authentic French country feel, and the simple, rounded shape gives it a timeless quality.

We can imagine it taking pride of place on an old farmhouse kitchen dresser, surrounded by mismatched French pottery, linen tea towels and wooden utensils.

It's one of those pieces that doesn't need any embellishment – the shape, colour and character speak for themselves.
