About the Item

A French pottery shepherd's lunch holder from the 19th century with green glaze, two bowls and large handle. This charming 19th-century French shepherd's lunch holder, known as a Porte-Dîner, is a testament to the rustic simplicity and practicality of days gone by. Crafted with a rich green glaze, it exudes a sense of rural authenticity, perhaps hailing from the picturesque region of Normandy. Its design is both ingenious and straightforward: two bowls of different sizes are thoughtfully interconnected through a generously sized handle. This clever arrangement allowed shepherds and laborers to transport their midday meals to the fields or markets with ease and efficiency. The weathered surface and rustic character of this piece tell a story of a bygone era, where daily life was intimately connected with the land and its rhythms. Each chip, crack, and patina mark on the pottery is a testament to its utilitarian history, adding a layer of authenticity and charm that's increasingly rare in our modern world. Today, this French shepherd's lunch holder serves not only as a unique historical artifact but also as a captivating decorative piece. Place it on a kitchen shelf, rustic farmhouse table, or even in a cozy garden nook to infuse your space with the warmth and character of traditional French country life. It's a delightful conversation starter and a visual link to a simpler, more connected past.
