The Green Oak pottery

 
The Green Oak pottery perpetuates the tradition of horticultural Anduze pots and dits hancrapted production adorns the famous gardens of the Castle Versailles. The architect in charge of recent restoring work in the gardens originally designed by Le Nôtre, incidentally found a fragment of an Anduze vase dated 1804 and signed Gautier.
This discovery contributed to put these world famous pots forward on the scene once again and Green Oak pottery was given the delicate responsability of handcraffing them.
   
   
 
The "Versailles" model is a re-edition of an 18th. Century vase, handcrafted by Gautier. Its decorative attributes composing the garland, maily, an angel, a flower-de-luce and horns of plenty linked by a thin thread taking the shape of a "chapeau de gendarme", were designed from the original model. Today each pot harbors a distinctive badge, set in between each garland, it represents a 12th century currency called "Trébuchet", the escutcheon displays the sun which is topped by the royal crown.
In addition, a manufacturing stamp showing an Anduze cross authenticates each piece.
