The Toast Rack is a kitchen tool for holding slices of toasted bread on the breakfast, tea or dinner table. It has mostly been used since the 18th century in UK. Due to the gaps between the partitions, the toast refrains from becoming soggy, as it does when it’s simply placed on a plate. The toast rack allows the vapor to escape from the toast, hence why it’s a quintessential object to have in the home. Given their refined purpose and design, these porcelain toast racks are highly appealing to people with a sense for unique aesthetics. A toast rack should definitely never be out of fashion.

The “Bol Café au Lait” is a MAISON PASTIS classic. Bols often catch the eye when browsing fleamarkets or by watching old films during breakfast scenes. It was a typical item in every kitchen in the 19th and 20th century. There is a practical reason why to drink the milk coffee from a bol: so that the croissant or a piece of baguette can be dunked into it. In France, it was common for people to receive their first bol at the age of 6. In many places in France it is still a tradition that your own bol is added to the coffin.

Each bol is handbuilt, painted, gilded and decorated with a quote of a french new wave film.

MAISON PASTIS embodies in this collection the ardent greats of french cinema.
