Sitting and Crunching Bread and Barrel

In Provence, the casse-croûte is almost an institution: a break in the sun, bread, cheese, a glass, and above all the company of friends. It is this tradition our workshop wanted to celebrate in 2014, by imagining two new characters brought together under the name « Bons Amis ».

On one side, Taste-Vin, the wine merchant, uncorking a bottle of « cuvée 1934 » to celebrate our house's 80th anniversary. On the other, Croque-Pain, the baker, with his loaf and knife, ready to cut slices to go with the Rove cheese. Croque-Pain comes with the barrel created for the scene: the two friends can sit on it, as on a bench, a stone or a low wall.

At 9 cm, the family size, the bread crust and the folds of the clothes can be seen in detail. The santon and barrel are made in our Aix workshop: an original model sculpted by hand, clay molding, slow drying, firing at 960 °C, matte paint applied with a brush.

The whole Bons Amis scene can be seen at 65 cours Gambetta. Each piece is wrapped separately in paper and then bubble wrap; ships within 2 to 3 business days.
