Notes from Sylvie:

Each Hatay pot is handmade and unique, they have slightly different coloration and details, but they are each exquisite.

In the early 20th century, a French aristocrat imported these Turkish jars to his château in Aix-en-Provence after discovering them in the region of Hatay. Originally crafted by Ottoman artisans to hold herbs and oils, each jar was shaped by hand, their surfaces developing a rich patina over time. Placed throughout the château’s halls and gardens, the jars became part of the estate’s story, with their subtle variations in color reflecting their long journey from the crossroads of empires to the quiet beauty of Provence.

A tale so magical, we barely believe it. The story of this collection begins in the heart of Aix-en-Provence, where whispers led us to an extraordinary discovery—a resting place for the remnants of chateaus long forgotten. This ‘graveyard’ was unlike anything Sylvie had ever encountered.

Amidst the ruins, each piece seemed to carry the echoes of noble homes, some felled by earthquakes, others abandoned and left to time. It was a place of lost grandeur, where fragments of history lay waiting. Sylvie handpicked her favorites from these forgotten treasures, breathing new life into each one, and sometimes, a new purpose. This collection is a revival of French history, offering pieces once thought lost to time.
