We nearly kept these for ourselves. These remarkable limestone pots from the 18th century were originally used to hold holy water. That's right, these are from 1700's France, our jaws are on the ground. These pots were hand-carved from limestone in the eastern regions of France and they often were found in ancient churches symbolizing purification and blessing. To be clear, these are exceptionally rare finds. We now style these proudly with pillar candles, on shelves a top of coffee table books, or on kitchen counter services overflowing with provisions.

Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.
