About the Item

Part of our huge collection of large, colorful clay vessels, known as confit pots. Derived from the French word confire (meaning “to preserve”), confit pots were used to store cooked game in their own fat before the advent of refrigeration. The earthenware section was typically wrapped in cloth and buried in the ground, with only the glazed area visible. Pots came in various sizes and colors, but the classic color is mustard yellow, although this particular pot has a lighter shade of yellow, giving it a flair of individuality. The Dutch painter, Vincent Van Gogh, depicted confit pots in his famous series of paintings, Tournesols (Sunflowers).

A small pithos (a Greek storage container), this terra cotta jar has well-balanced proportions, with a thin protruding ring just above the widest part of the body.

It has a wonderful chalky white finish, with some commensurate losses revealing traces of the original orange hue of the terra cotta, along with areas containing a cream and brown patina. The variegated color enhances the character of this small jar that was once used to store oil or grains. Dating to the early 1900s, our Greek terra cotta...
