If you are like me and you love beautiful kitchen pottery than you will love these inspirational images!
The French Provençal pottery is my favorite! When we are in the south of France, I always love to visit the town Vallauris where you can find beautiful pottery and I never can’t resist buying a few pots, plates or cups!
The long, distinguished heritage of beautiful Provençal ceramics has its roots in the earth. The topography of Provence is richly larded with large deposits of high-quality clay, pink or red mostly, but occasonally white, a natural resource that from time to time of the Roman Empire inspired a vast production of handmade earthenware and faience : pots, vases, pitchers, plates, cups, and all kind of tiles. From the 17th century, ceramics ateliers flourished from the mountains of northern Provence south to the sea. They centered in towns that grew up near the clay deposits :Aubagne,Apt,Moustiers-Sainte-Marie,Dieulefit,Salernes,Varages,Biot,Vallauris, and west across the Rhône in Uzes and Anduze.
A Mediterranean styled kitchen!

Beautiful pitchers!
Wouldn’t you love to have such a beautiful cupboard filled with pottery ?
Love the pitchers on the shelf.
You can find a lot of table lamps now which are made of the ceramic pitchers.

If you don’t use the pottery for cooking or baking, you can bring them in as decorative items.

Even the white or creamy pottery looks gorgeous, isn’t it?
A few weeks ago I bought a pot as this one here on the image (brown and yellow colored) which is standing now on my kitchen table.
Look at the color palette used here in this kitchen. Would the colors have been chosen in function of the pottery of vice versa??
I just love this!
Wouldnt you love to go baking a cake when you see this cake tin?
Bon appetit !

Ik HOU van pottery. Ik heb er zoveel terug gebracht van Griekenland. Toen ik daar leefde (gedurende 3 jaar) had ik mijn hele keuken uit pottery.
ReplyDeleteOh Greet, this is a great post and as you can imagine I love the antique pottery of our area of Provence. You found fantastic photos. In each one the pottery makes all the difference. Hope you're enjoying summer and maybe un petit congé! ~Susan
ReplyDeleteThe glazed pottery adds such a warm and inviting element to all the spaces... Thank you for sharing... ~Terri
ReplyDeleteIk vind deze potten prachtig, vooral de grijze en zandkleuirge varianten. Ze staan prachtig in een landelijke keuken. ik heb er net een paar ingekocht voor mijn webwinkel.
ReplyDeleteGreet, you always find the best photographs! I started collecting pottery from Provence when I visited this May - don't know when it will end!

Beautiful post on equally beautiful pottery and those kitchens, wow! Thank you SAx
ReplyDeleteGreet,
ReplyDeleteGreat posting...I love all the beautiful pottery and the clean lines of some of those kitchens! Such pretty things!

Never been to Vallauris but I know how Picasso loved it and he made also gorgeous pottery. The images you have chosen make me think of a life where real values,extended family and friends are the top priorities instead of success and appearances. Wood, Stone and Pottery versus Granite and Stainless Steel.
ReplyDeleteI love the cupboard in the corner photo, and that pale green pottery in the 4th photo. I bought Provencal pottery on our trips to Paris and have them here, they need some nice shelves to show them off properly !
ReplyDeleteI could be blissfully happy in any one of these gorgeous kitchens with all the wonderful pottery and other rustic details.

The last time I was in France I purchased a stunning small antique piece of pottery that I use in my kitchen for cooking utensils and I love it. There’s something so soothing about French pottery and the earthenware. Thank you for a lovely post!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous post. Old pottery makes everything look like a still life painting. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteGreet what a fabulous array of beautiful pottery I love the color palettes used.
