Item Description

This small terracotta ponne from the Charente region in South West France would have originally been used for preserving food. They were often buried in the ground to keep them cool and as such did not always have a flat base. Wanting to repurpose it as late 19th century planter we came up with the idea of sitting them flat on a round piece of rope which we think adds to their decorative appeal. This little ponne is a great shape and in very good condition.
