19th Century Yellow Glazed Terra Cotta "Confit" Pot

About the Item

19th century large yellow glazed terra cotta “Confit” pot. Once a staple in French kitchens, confit pots were popular for preserving and cooking duck before refrigeration existed. They are also in the featured face in Van Gogh's Sunflower series. A delightful relic of rustic culinary history! Note that the tapered base is unglazed. Confit pots were half-glazed for two reasons. Firstly, they were unglazed towards the bottom to prevent rodents from being able to climb the sides of the pots. Secondly, the pots' inside and top half were glazed to keep the pot cool for evaporation. This glazed earthenware was once used every day in the French country home. They were often buried in the ground of a cellar to preserve the contents, which were typically meats like duck or goose sealed with a layer of fat. This confit pot is coated in a yellow glaze that exudes a sunny, welcoming vibe. The two lateral handles are not just functional; but add symmetry and balance to the piece. The pot's rustic patina is a testament to its age and daily use in a bustling French kitchen of the past. Our confit pots are nice decorative elements to add character to any room! Especially when several sizes and shapes are grouped together. A wonderful piece to add to an already existing collection or the perfect pot to start a new one!
