These Bonny stoneware crocks and mini butter pots were made in Bonny-sur-Loire, a small village in central France with a long tradition of pottery production. Crafted from durable stoneware and finished in a warm honey-brown salt glaze, they were fired at high temperatures to create vessels sturdy enough for everyday farmhouse use, from preserving butter and confit to storing crocks of food in cool pantries.
This collection is believed to be new old stock, uncovered in an abandoned French warehouse after decades in storage. They were never put into service, which is why the glaze is still so rich and the interiors remain beautifully clean.
Today, they feel just as at home holding herbs on a kitchen counter, overflowing with seasonal blooms, or tucked into an English-style garden as they once did in the French countryside. Some pieces are even stamped with their original Bonny mark, a small reminder of where their story began.
These pieces have not had a first chapter yet, but will begin theirs in one of my spaces soon. 🪴
