About the Item

This beautifully preserved large French stoneware pot dates back to the 19th century and embodies the rustic elegance of traditional French rural pottery. Crafted from durable terracotta and finished with a soft beige glaze, this generously proportioned vessel features a classic rounded shape with two sturdy side handles and its original lid. Delicate incised bands encircle the upper body, adding a subtle decorative touch to its otherwise utilitarian design. Marked with the number “45” and a directional arrow, this piece was likely used for storing food such as confit, preserves, or dry goods in a farmhouse kitchen. Its substantial size and snug-fitting lid would have helped protect contents from moisture and pests, preserving them for long periods. Today, this antique pot serves not only as a piece of historical craftsmanship but also as a charming decorative object. It adds depth and authenticity to any interior—perfect for a rustic kitchen, a garden room, or a country-inspired setting. The natural wear, soft glaze variations, and time-worn patina give it undeniable character and a strong sense of provenance.
