In French, “oseille” refers to Sorrel, an edible green herb. It’s also slang for the word ‘money’. French has quite a few terms for money: argent (money, but also silver), monnaie (currency but also coins or change), liquide (cash), blé (bread), fric, pognon, thune (dough, money, bucks). This charming and silly French pottery crock could be used for loose change, as a wine cooler or ice bucket, or to hold your wallet and keys in an entryway.
