Authentic period French stoneware originally used for mustard. These crocks typically date to the 1940s and sometimes bear the “LAB Lagny” stamp on the base or side, a mark of careful artisanal manufacture.
Characteristics
Material: sturdy stoneware, kiln-fired for durability.
Glaze: cream or beige tone, lightly glossy and pleasantly patinated with age.
Historical use: storage for mustard or confits in traditional French kitchens.
Aesthetic: simple, utilitarian silhouette ideal for farmhouse, rustic, or cottage interiors.
Contemporary uses
Vase for small floral arrangements or fresh herbs.
Holder for makeup brushes, pens, or kitchen utensils.
Decorative object on a shelf, side table, or kitchen sill to add texture and authenticity.
Collectible for enthusiasts of vintage household wares and French folk art.
Condition & character
These pieces often show signs of use — small glaze chips, fine surface crazing, or glaze drips — all of which speak to their history and enhance their charm. Each pot is unique; inspect for the “LAB Lagny” stamp when present to confirm provenance.
Care tips
Clean gently with warm water and mild soap; avoid abrasive cleaners that strip the patina.
Check for water-tightness before using as a vase.
Dimensions
Height: 4.5 in
Diameter: 4 in
Opening: 2.5 in
