Cylindrical Box

The cylindrical jar originates from Burgundian kitchens, where it was once used to store condiments and homemade preparations. These jars, reissues of utilitarian models preserved in the Manufactory's archives, perpetuate a regional tradition: to store, macerate, and protect. They were already part of daily life in rural pantries, where stoneware was valued for its robustness and natural impermeability.

Molded from stoneware and fired at very high temperatures, they become completely vitrified: the material absorbs no odor, flavor, or moisture. Their opacity protects food from light, ensuring healthy and long-lasting preservation. These are reliable, hygienic containers made to last.

Multiple uses, from the pantry to the contemporary kitchen

Today, their simple, straight, and stable shape, as well as their versatile capacities, allow them to meet a wide variety of uses.
Maceration in oil or vinegar (fruits, vegetables, herbs, zests), preparation of homemade condiments, storage of spices, dried fruits, cereals or sugar, container for ice cubes, fresh herbs or zests.
The non-porous stoneware ensures perfect neutrality, no transfer of taste or smell, even during long macerations.

Also a decorative object in the kitchen, as in all other rooms of the house.

Each cylindrical jar is molded, glazed, and finished by hand in the Manufactory's workshops.
This meticulous work, passed down from generation to generation, gives each piece its unique character while respecting the heritage forms from which they originate.

A utilitarian object that has become a durable and decorative piece, the cylindrical jar embodies the meeting of tradition and use. It fits equally well in a traditional or contemporary kitchen.
