FAQs

A grape hod is a traditional, semi-cylindrical metal container historically carried on the backs of vineyard workers during the grape harvest in France.

These utility vessels are typically constructed from galvanised iron, zinc, or sheet metal, often featuring hand-painted lettering or crests added later for decorative purposes.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural oxidisation, hand-beaten seams, and structural wear consistent with agricultural use rather than modern artificial distressing.

Due to their flat back designed for carrying against the body, they can be mounted flush to a wall as a planter or displayed freestanding as a floor container for dried botanicals and logs.

Clean gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth to preserve the surface patina, avoiding abrasive chemicals that could strip the historical oxidisation or painted details.
