“Gres au sel”(sandstone pottery) is an ancient
technique of vitrification (1300 C°)

 

Pots manufactured with this technique
are basically used to preserve food
(historically they were used to preserve oil,
pickles, eggs, butter, vinegar, ...) 

 

“Gres au sel” items are characterized by their grey color,
enhanced by simple cobalt-blue decorations,
either painted or engraved. 

 

Wether it consists of butter water-pots, 
water or wine pitchers or distillation jugs ,
all items keep their content fresh. 

 

Pieces which are hand-engraved are unique
and are treasures of style and fineness.
