3 Handle Confit Pot
About the Item
This hand-thrown 3-handle confit pot, originating from Grottaglie, Puglia, and dating back to the late 1800s, is a beautiful example of rustic Italian farmhouse pottery. Made from thick, robust clay, this pot was traditionally used to store a family's most precious foods, such as olive oil or brined goods, offering a glimpse into the practical yet artisanal craftsmanship of the time. The addition of three sturdy handles was a deliberate design choice, allowing for easier transportation and handling, a necessity in rural households where mobility and functionality were key. The partially glazed interior, typical of the period, was applied to protect the food and ensure easier cleaning.
This charming confit pot showcases the timeless appeal of hand-crafted ceramics, with natural imperfections and subtle variations in form and texture that make each piece unique. Whether displayed as a decorative antique or repurposed for modern use, it adds a touch of history and character to any space.
For care, gently remove loose dirt with a soft-bristle brush, avoiding the use of cloths that may snag on fragile surfaces. It can be washed with tap water, but using distilled or deionized water is preferable to maintain its longevity. Always use lukewarm or cooler water to avoid damaging the pot’s integrity and finish.
