'Agreste' in French has the meaning of 'countryside'. The illustration on the sauce boat looks like just beautiful flowers from french cottage garden, but in fact, it contains the sad history of France that it was occupied by Germany between 1940-44 during World War II. Blue, white, and red flowers on the sauce boat symbolize the French flag. It's a secret expression waiting for the liberation of France.
