Is there any difference between the oval cocotte and the coq au vin?

Name: Staub Coq au Vin Dutch Oven, 5.75 qt.

Description: Complete with a shining rooster handle, the Staub coq au vin Dutch oven is designed in honor of the famous traditional French dish, and the one to use whenever you’re braising chicken or other meats and vegetables.

I did a google search for your question and you will be happy to know that several people have had the same question. From what I read it seems as though what they are called has more to do with the knob and what you would cook in the coq a vin than shape or size. Both are oval and and come in different sizes but the coq a vin has a rooster knob and the cocotte has a plain metal knob and since coq in French means rooster/cock it makes perfect sense. But coq a vin is a chicken dish that would be tasty made in either pot. Hope this helps.
