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 classic escargot plate. Complete with nine wells and an oven-safe finish, the classic piece isn’t just made for serving escargots—try it for roasting mushrooms or storing eggs and fruit. And we keep the classic dish out as a display piece even when it isn’t in use.

An iconic finish.

At its height, potters at the factory would craft between 80 to 120 pieces a day, firing them in a blazing 1200 degree kiln with an unexpected additional component: salt. The old technique, known as salt-glazing, rendered pieces with an iconic glassy finish that set them apart.
