Dish up.
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.
We won’t be surprised if this baking dish ends up in your daily rotation. It’s super-sturdy stoneware, since it was crafted from grey clay, then salt-fired for an extra-durable finish. (Yep, it’ll hop in the oven, microwave, freezer, or dishwasher, no problem.) Oh, and did we mention it comes straight from the French countryside? No wonder it has so much vintage charm. There’s two sizes here, ready to bake up lasagna, roasted veg, a fruity cobbler...the works.
