Notes from Sylvie:

Each hand blown glass bottle is different, some have bubbles in the surface, variations in color or slight chips on the rim, but res assured my dear, we only select our favorites.

Discovered along the streets of Avignon, these bottles weren’t decor—they were hard at work in farm kitchens, holding everything from wine to secret potions. With their rounded shapes and thick, slightly worn glass, they carry the energy of French country life, where everything had a purpose and wasn't all for the gram. These bottles might’ve spent decades stashed in cellars, but their history is anything but boring.

Avignon, a city steeped in history and has long been a jewel of Provence. Known as the seat of the Papacy during the 14th century, Avignon became a center of power and culture, leaving behind a legacy of stunning architecture, art, and craftsmanship. The city’s rich history is palpable in every stone of its ancient streets, where the past and present blend seamlessly.

The surrounding countryside, with its rolling vineyards, lavender fields, and quaint villages, has been a source of inspiration for artists and artisans alike. It is here, amidst the serene beauty of Provence, that our latest collection was unearthed.

From intricately carved stools to delicately crafted ceramics, each piece in this collection reflects the artistry and tradition of Avignon and its surroundings. Whether it’s a piece discovered in a centuries-old farmhouse or a find from a grand Provençal brocante, these items carry with them the spirit of Avignon.
