19th Century Set of Four Glazed Terracotta Confit Pots

About the Item

This set of four antique French pots à graisse showcases the charm and utility of 19th-century rustic pottery. These earthenware pots were traditionally used in rural households to store rendered animal fat for cooking and preservation. The collection features two beige-toned pots with a natural glaze, alongside two brown-glazed examples, one of which has a rich, glossy finish. Each pot is equipped with side handles, emphasizing their practical design for carrying or pouring. The beige pots exhibit a subtle ribbed texture around their bodies, adding a decorative element to their functionality, while one comes with its original lid, a rare detail that enhances its authenticity and value. The brown pot, with its smoother surface, creates a lovely contrast within the set. With clear signs of handcrafting and patina from use, these pots are excellent decorative pieces for a kitchen or a farmhouse-style interior. The undersides bear natural aging marks, further emphasizing their historical significance. Whether displayed together or separately, these pots à graisse encapsulate a slice of French heritage and would appeal to collectors or anyone seeking timeless rustic decor.
