Vintage French Cornichons Pot with Lid – Vieux Gris Glaze Rustic Kitchen Storage

Add authentic French charm to your kitchen with this traditional vintage cornichons pot with lid, sourced from a French brocante market. Likely dating from the 1960s/70s (possibly earlier), this rustic earthenware jar was originally used for serving and storing cornichons which are dilled gherkins—a staple in French cooking.
