Sitting and Crunching Bread and Barrel

In Provence, a snack shared among friends is a true moment of conviviality: a piece of bread, a bit of cheese, a bottle being uncorked. In 2014, our workshop chose this theme for its new creations of the year and created two pals, the « Bons Amis » (Good Friends): Taste-Vin, the wine merchant, and Croque-Pain, his baker friend.

Croque-Pain holds his loaf and knife. He is designed to be seated: on a bench, a stone, a low wall, a staircase or on the barrel created especially for him and Taste-Vin, included here. As a nod to our history, Taste-Vin uncorks a bottle of « cuvée 1934 », in honor of the workshop's 80th anniversary.

At 4 cm, the scene suits medium-sized Nativity scenes. The santon and his barrel are crafted in clay in our Aix-en-Provence workshop, then fired and painted by hand.

Find the Bons Amis and their whole snack scene at our shop at 65 cours Gambetta. Each piece is individually wrapped, in paper and then bubble wrap, and shipped within 2 to 3 business days.
