Poterie Renault Brown Meat Pie Tourtière — Set of 2

Though the region is best known for wine production, the Loire Valley of France also once contained a secret gem frozen in time: Poterie Renault. Dating back to 1847, the French pottery workshop was filled to the brim with stoneware pieces, all handcrafted from some of the richest and finest clay France has to offer. And while the factory shuttered its doors in 2016, it left behind a treasure trove of salt-glazed ceramics that have become collectible items. Included in that collection—reminiscent of charming French country kitchens is this round baking dish. It’s designed for tourtières, savory French meat pies, but it will work beautifully for sweet pies, quiche, casseroles and side dishes. This is a set of 2 dishes.
