A charming pair of Le Comptoir de Famille Confiture jam jars, presented in their original decorative black metal caddy. Each petite cream-colored ceramic jar has a traditional red-and-white checked fabric cover gathered around the rim, with a printed “CONFITURE” label on the front.
The jars sit side-by-side in a beautifully whimsical wrought-iron-style holder with curled wirework, raised feet, and a central handle. The combination of cream ceramic, red gingham, and black metal gives the piece an unmistakably French farmhouse feel.
Le Comptoir de Famille is a French homewares brand known for collections inspired by traditional French country living, incorporating nostalgic motifs, faïence, textiles, ironwork, and the visual language of old-fashioned kitchens and country markets. The brand itself describes its aesthetic as drawing on objects and motifs of the past, with collections designed to evoke the warmth and nostalgia of the French countryside.
An especially fun piece to repurpose as a candle vessel. The two petite ceramic jars are approximately 7 oz. each, making them a lovely size for a smaller candle. The gingham-covered lids and decorative caddy can be retained as part of the styling after the candle is burned, or the jars can be used independently.
They would be adorable styled on a kitchen counter, breakfast table, bedside table, or open shelf, particularly alongside French pottery, cookbooks, antique silver, or a little bowl of matches. The two-vessel format also makes them especially sweet as a pair of matching candles.
