For a picture-perfect pour.
This vintage French jug is making our hearts go pitter-patter, and for so many reasons. For starters, it was handmade in the Loire Valley from local grey clay, then fired with salt to create a one-of-a-kind shine. Then there are those beaded bands up and down, which—fun fact—were inspired by classic wood barrels and copper hoop jugs. Oh, and we haven’t even gotten to the spout: It’s a pouring pro, ready to serve up wine, savory sauce, olive oil, you name it. (Pick whichever vessel size suits the task best.) Did we mention it’s oven, microwave, freezer, and dishwasher friendly, too? Color us impressed.
