Description
Every evening at six, without fail, Monsieur Lambert walks to the boulangerie on the corner for his baguette. He chooses it carefully, a little darker than most, and carries it home tucked under his arm like a newspaper. By the time he reaches his door, the end has always mysteriously vanished. His wife pretends not to notice. She has been pretending for forty-two years, and she has never once complained, because she does exactly the same thing.
This classic French baguette captures that daily ritual in porcelain, long and slender with a golden crust. It is a charming accent for a French-style kitchen, a lovely gift for a baker or a francophile, and a playful souvenir for someone who has just come home from a trip to France. Lay it on a bread board, a windowsill or a shelf of cookbooks, where it hints at the smell of fresh bread every time someone walks past.
