Traditional colors are honey or green but they are available in more contemporary glazed or non-enameled aspects and colors. These “OLIVETTES” (Other name for this category) are hand-thrown or more recently “ROPE-THROWN” for the highest (90cm high) and widest model available only at “Le Chêne Vert” pottery.
