Know before you buy
These jugs are considered new old stock. They are authentic, unused pieces from the final production runs of the Poterie Renault factory before it ceased operations.
The salt glaze creates a distinct, slightly pebbled texture and a unique sheen that varies from piece to piece. Because of this artisanal firing process, you can expect subtle variations in color and finish, making every jug one-of-a-kind.
Yes, while designed for wine, the 8.5 oz capacity is also ideal for serving individual portions of olive oil, vinegar, or even as a small creamer for coffee service.
To maintain the integrity of the clay and the salt glaze, we recommend hand washing with mild soap. Avoid using harsh abrasives or putting the jug in the dishwasher to ensure the finish remains intact.
The jug features an integrated handle designed for a secure, ergonomic grip. Given its compact size, it is balanced well for controlled pouring.
