Mustard Pot Vase | Anastasio Home x Janie Kruse Garnett
- Only 6 left in stock!
The glazed stoneware mustard pot was a utility object of nineteenth-century Dijon — filled, sealed, and sold by the city's mustard makers, then kept for a long second life on the kitchen shelf. The vase holds the form they were known by: a straight-sided body under a rolled collar, carved in Midnight, a black marble veined in white and grey. Like the rest of the collection, the weight does the work — solid marble, a low center, a squat proportion that will not tip. At four inches across it takes a short cutting, or returns to its first job, keeping upright whatever a desk or a counter collects.
Janie's note: I copied this almost exactly from a vintage mustard pot that is one of my family's most prized possessions. It is the right size for the handful of short-stemmed cuttings you gather on the way home from the school run. — Janie Kruse Garnett
Dimensions: 4" Diameter x 4.75" H
Janie Kruse Garnett designs jewelry on the logic of classical architecture — trained in art history, with Palladio, Inigo Jones, and the golden ratio among her working references. This collaboration carries that bench-scale precision into stone. Each vessel is drawn from a classical source — a newel-post finial, a mustard pot, a Victorian rose bowl — and engineered to hold flowers in practice: rounded lips where a stem might otherwise snap, wide bases that resist tipping, and enough marble weight to steady a tall, top-heavy bouquet. Every piece is carved in Indian marble by the artisans of our Rajasthan atelier in a limited production run.
Care Instructions
Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid acidic foods, harsh chemicals, and abrasive pads. Marble can be buffed with a clean natural oil to restore its shine. Brass and aluminum will slowly deepen in color, gathering the soft patina that comes only with time and touch.
Each piece is one-of-a-kind, shaped by hand from natural stone or cast metal by skilled artisans in Rajasthan, India. Subtle shifts in tone, texture, and form are part of its story—variations we embrace, whether born from the earth or the maker’s touch.
