From Saint-Uze, the village in the Drôme where the Revol family set up their pottery works in 1800, this kitchen pot carries the cobalt flowers the place became famous for. “Farine” is printed across its front, French for flour, between two bands of little blue blossoms and trailing vines, the cream glaze softened and stained with age. Pots like it lined the shelves of French kitchens labeled for what they held, the flour, the sugar, the salt, and the blue transfer patterns known as the Bleus de Saint-Uze were added to the village’s wares from the 1870s on. Sylvie keeps it beside the stove filled with wooden spoons and a whisk.
