Authentic Anduze French Pots

Something happens when you see the quality and characteristics of authentic handmade French pots in person – you are struck by the difference in quality. You can’t help but feel the emotion that comes from true beauty. They impress and delight. Each pot is carefully crafted and adorned with traditional features and detail. This can include the name of the poterie, date of production and the various treatments made from hand tools. These are the small details that make French pots so appealing and charming.

Why choose Poterie de la Madeleine?

Each French pottery has provenance and historic ways of producing different French styles. Poterie de la Madeleine continues the traditional artisan skills of French pottery whilst also adding its own unique styles and adornments. As Australia’s only approved sales agent, we are proud to represent Poterie de la Madeleine. Authentic French pots take considerable time to produce by hand and ship to Australia from the Anduze region. Imitations marketed as “French pots” or “Anduze pots” are not made in France using the same traditional French quality or techniques. The only way to ensure you are getting an authentic French Anduze pot is to buy direct, either Poterie de la Madeleine from Cape Outdoor or other Anduze pottery companies through an authorised Australian sales agent or reseller. Poterie de la Madeleine does not have any other approved sales agent or resellers in Australia.

What Are The Most Popular Types Of French Pot In Australia?

Green – Vert – is trending. A popular classic French pot that adds to the greenery of a garden, the Vert is a vibrant dark green French pot that provides eye-catching depth to a garden. Draw attention with contrasting colours from fruit trees that can be shaped as desired, such as cumquats or mandarins. Flamme – another popular style – creates an interesting focal point in your garden or entrances. The Flamme french pot can appear almost metallic with its glaze and illusion of depth due to its contrasting rustic brown and green colours. We recommend that you view the pots in person, as there are many to choose from, and you may just find another catches your eye and captures your heart.
