This antique rustic pine resin harvesting pots carry tracks of their long history in the Landes forest near the Atlantic ocean in South West of France.
Small drops of pure resin are still embedded in the coated resin that crystallized over time, forming rich forms and textures. The pots still keeps a subtle scent of this strong essence...

Traditionally handmade by local potters since 1840 for the "gemmeurs" who attached the pots to the pine trunks for collecting the precious resin slowly dripping into the pots. This technique disappeared, the resin being replaced by cheaper synthetic solvants.
These pots are becoming very rare to find, their flaws and accidents are part of their true rustic charm.

They are a perfect find for a farmhouse decor or a contrasting element in a sleek home.
