About the Item

This classic French confit pot is from the south of France and dates from the late 19th Century. Note the pretty tapered base that is unglazed. Confit pots were half-glazed for two reasons. Firstly, to stop rodents being able to grip onto the surface of the pot and help themselves to the contents. Secondly, they were glazed inside and the top half of the outside to keep the pot cool through evaporation. Pots were often buried in the ground of the cellar to preserve the contents, usually meat that was sealed with a layer of fat. Wonderful jar to add to an existing collection or perfect piece start a new one.
