About the Item

This 19th-century French confit pot is a radiant example of everyday rural pottery elevated by time and patina. Originating from the South of France, this hand-thrown terracotta vessel features a vibrant yellow ochre glaze on the upper portion, a classic regional technique used to seal and protect the interior. The lower half remains unglazed, exposing the pale clay body with organic drip lines and weathered surface markings. Its elegant, slightly tapered form is enhanced by the symmetrical twin handles and a thick rim, all showing signs of use and age. Originally used for preserving foods like duck confit or storing liquids, this antique jug now makes a soulful sculptural piece, perfect for kitchens, open shelving, or as a rustic vase for dried florals.
