About the Item

Set of 3 antique French confit pot yellow glazed pottery provence 19th century ~Direct from France~ ~Three various size antique French confit pots, with one being a quite hard-to-find petite size!~ ~And for those of you unfamiliar with confit pots, here’s a little info: Confit is the French word that means “to preserve”. In southern France in the mid-19th century these mustard coloured pottery vessels were used to store meat such as duck and goose. The meat was packed in duck fat (lard) which served as a preservative (this was prior to modern refrigeration). The confit pots were then sealed and stored in cellars, usually partially buried in the ground; hence, no glaze on the lower part of the pots. “Confit d’oie” is preserved goose and “confit de canard” is preserved duck. ~These pots have the traditional yellow glazing on the handles and on the top third, with the lower part left unglazed, as is the tradition. Lower bare clay has a nicely aged patina~ ~Fully glazed interiors~ ~Rustic antique condition with nicks and parts of the glaze cracked and missing; normal drips of glaze. Definitely expect imperfections due to the age and handmade nature of this pottery. Today these pieces are in high demand as French country/farmhouse decorative statement pieces. Own a part of the French countryside's history and tradition, with your own set! ~circa late 1800s~ Measurements 11.5” height x 11.25” x 9.25”.
