A rare piece of French agricultural history. These authentic pots à sève were once used to collect pine resin in the forests of Les Landes, Southwest France, c. 1920s-40s.
Each petite conical pot is handmade from raw clay with a beautiful glazed interior in honey, mustard and deep oxblood. The exterior is left raw and incredibly timeworn with layers of age, earth, and patina. No two are alike.
Perfect as a small planter, brush holder, or simply as a sculptural object on its own. A true collector's piece for the French farmhouse home.
Sold individually.
