Sitting and Crunching Bread and Barrel

Some santons work, others pray, and then there are those who take time to enjoy life. Croque-Pain belongs to the last family. A baker by trade, he settles down with his loaf of bread and his knife to share a snack with his friend Taste-Vin, the wine merchant. On their cloth, a Rove cheese and a good slice of bread.

This « Bons Amis » duo was born in our workshop in 2014, the year of the house's 80th anniversary, on the theme of conviviality. Both figures are modeled seated: they can sit wherever you like, on a stone, a bench, a staircase, or on this barrel made for them and supplied with Croque-Pain.

At 6 cm, the scale of first Nativity scenes, the scene slips easily near the baker's oven or onto the village square. The santon and barrel are shaped in clay, slowly dried, fired at 960 °C, then painted by hand.

You can discover the Bons Amis at our shop in Aix-en-Provence or at our exhibitions. Each piece is protected with paper and then bubble wrap, and your parcel ships within 2 to 3 business days.
