Before the advent of refrigerated trucks, metal milk containers, such as this French polished copper from circa 1890, would be used by dairy farmers to transport milk to customers. The farmers would load several of these containers with fresh milk, where patrons would fill their personal vessels at the market before traveling home. To prevent spillage during the voyage, most of the milk containers had a handle that kept the lid in place, such as our container, which still has the original lid and handle. Although no longer needed for transporting milk in today’s world, our polished copper milk...

The side has been stamped with a “73”, which is most likely a production mark and not the capacity. Although it is no longer needed for transporting milk in today’s world, our polished copper milk...

Antique French pot de confit or confit pot, circa 1890s, from Martres-Tolosone, a small village in southwest France renowned for the pottery manufacturers called Faïenceries de Martres-Tolosane. The pottery or earthenware factories of Martres-Tolosane were established during the 18th century on the banks of the Garonne River, where clay deposits suitable for making earthenware were found.

This utilitarian pot has a stunning white glaze and two handles, referred to as ears, and was originally used for preserving fruits or vegetables and to store eggs.

Both have similar uses but the white glazed pots...
