🇫🇷 DO YOU KNOW HOW A TRADITIONAL FRENCH BUTTER KEEPER WORKS? 🧈

This is one of those Brocante finds that looks beautiful sitting in a French country kitchen — but it was actually designed with a very practical purpose.

Dating from the 1970s, this lovely old stoneware butter keeper was made in France by Grès de l’Arnon. It has a softly speckled warm-grey glaze, wonderfully earthy brown decoration and, of course, the word “Beurre” across the front. Turn it over and you'll find the original Grès de l’Arnon – France maker's mark underneath.

But here's the clever bit...

Rather than keeping your butter in the fridge until it's rock hard, the butter is pressed into the removable inner section. A little water goes into the base, helping to create a seal when the two pieces are fitted together — keeping the butter protected while remaining beautifully soft and spreadable. The water is simply refreshed every couple of days. 🧈🥖

It's such a lovely example of the everyday French kitchenware we adore finding — practical, beautifully made and now a little piece of French kitchen history.

Approx. 13.5cm high × 11cm wide and, as with so many of our Brocante finds, there's only one.

You'll find it on our website by searching for “Grès de l’Arnon Butter Keeper”. 🤎

☕ NEW — Handmade Rustic Wooden Mug Racks 🤎

We’ve been busy making some exciting new items for our shop… and we think you will love these!

Our Rustic Wooden Mug Racks are handmade by us from solid timber, then given a warm rustic finish that lets all those lovely knots, grain and natural markings show through. No two will ever be exactly the same.

There are two sizes to choose from:

☕ 60cm rack — 4 pegs, perfect for four favourite mugs

☕ 90cm rack — 6 pegs, so you can hang six mugs or 4 mugs + 2 tea towels

Both measure approximately 6.5cm high × 10cm deep.

We love them styled above a kitchen worktop or coffee station with old china, French pottery and stoneware — a really simple way to bring a little rustic country character into the kitchen.

And because they're handmade rather than mass produced, all those little variations in the timber are part of their charm. 🤎

From just £30 with FREE UK delivery - and we can ship them worldwide!

Buy online at The Little Brocante Shop.

A little more character for the kitchen… 🤎

We wanted to make something practical and full of that rustic country-kitchen charm we love — so we made these wooden mug racks by hand here at The Little Brocante Shop.

Made from solid timber with a warm rustic finish, every rack has its own natural grain, knots and markings, so no two will ever be quite the same

Choose from:
☕ 4 peg – 60cm wide
☕ 6 peg – 90cm wide

Both are 6.5cm high and approx. 10cm deep. The larger rack looks gorgeous filled with six favourite mugs, or use the end pegs for tea towels and display 4 mugs + 2 towels instead.

Perfect above a coffee station, kitchen worktop or dresser — especially paired with old French pottery, blue & white china or chunky stoneware.

Handmade by us, for homes that like things with a little character. 🤎

This is exactly the sort of find that makes a day on the Brocante trail worthwhile.

This vintage french grès stoneware jug immediately caught our eye.

A beautifully understated piece of vintage French stoneware, with all the warmth and simplicity that makes traditional French pottery so easy to live with. This charming grès stoneware jug has a softly rounded body, gently flared pouring lip and substantial curved handle.

Its creamy beige glaze is scattered with tiny natural brown speckles, while subtle horizontal throwing lines around the body give the surface wonderful texture and character. Turn it over and the base is clearly marked: “Made in France – Stoneware” along with an impressed 50.

At just 13.5 cm tall, this is a wonderfully versatile little jug. It looks beautiful displayed amongst old French kitchenware, stoneware and wooden boards, but could equally be used for serving milk or cream, holding a small posy of flowers, or simply sitting on an open kitchen shelf as part of a collected country interior.

Its neutral colouring makes it particularly easy to style – warm enough for a rustic farmhouse kitchen, but simple enough to work beautifully in a more contemporary home too.

As with so many of our Brocante finds, there is only one available.

🤎 NEW — Our Traditionally Made Rustic Wooden Ladders are now here!

There’s something about a traditional wooden ladder that instantly adds warmth and character to a room…

And our new decorative ladders are made to look as though they could have been part of an old country home for years.

Each one is individually handmade from FSC-certified solid wood, traditionally styled with round wooden rungs, then given a rich rustic stain to bring out the natural grain and character of the timber. They're also coated to make them water resistant.

Lean one against the wall in the bathroom and fill it with fluffy towels. Use one in the bedroom for clothes. Drape it with throws and blankets in the sitting room. Or keep it simple and let the beautiful rustic wood become part of the room itself.

You could even use one for trailing plants, dried flowers or seasonal halloween or Christmas decorations. 🌿

And because every home is different, we've made them in three sizes — all 45cm wide:

1 metre tall
1.2 metres tall
1.5 metres tall
