Pot N#2 : The round pieces with side handle is yellow mustard color on the inside and outside and the outside is decorate with marron flowers and green foliage.
This traditional container is used for cooked items that need to be melted like fondue and is called a caquelon. The glazed ceramic pot with thick handle, squat, broad shape and handle with hole in the center is designed so that the bottom and sides heat evenly, which helps prevent the cheese from scorching.
