20th Century Spanish Catalan Black Clay Botijo or Water Jug from Verdu, Signed
Located in Birmingham, AL
An early 20th century barro negro or black clay botijo, hand made and signed ROCA CAUS VERDU on the handle, by the famed pottery company, Roca Caus, in the village of Verdú in the Catalan region of Spain, circa 1900. This beautiful utilitarian pot, with its wide belly, top handle, and one mouth where it's filled and one mouth called a pitón or pitorro to drink from, is a traditional porous clay Spanish vessel originally designed to contain water. The botijo is a typical element of Spanish culture and can be found in nearly every rural town and varies in shape, color, and material depending on the area. The Verdú jugs are known for their ability to keep water cool and very fresh because of their porosity. The expression "they always cry" is well known. Today, this antique clay jug can be used as a vase, stand alone conversation piece, or grouped with other pieces of blackware on a table, shelf or kitchen counter. Beautifully decorative, it will be a wonderful addition to any collection. Each piece is a unique work of art, and its dusky matte patina only adds to its overall character and charm.

Rare 19th Century French Confit Pot with Dark Green Glaze and Handles
Located in Birmingham, AL
A stunning 19th century French pot de confit or confit pot from southwest France having two handles and a rare dark green glaze on the outside with a yellow glaze inside the pot, circa 1880s. Utilitarian earthenware vessels like this one were a staple in French kitchens, especially in the South of France where the weather was warmer. The word confit means “to preserve" and these charming pots made it possible for country cooks to slowly cook the duck or goose and and preserve the meat in its own fat. French confit pots are easily recognizable because of their beautiful glazed upper sections and often unglazed bottoms. The bottom half of the pot was usually, but not always, left unglazed because it would be buried in the cool soil of the cellar or placed in a stone lined larder up to the glazing line. This storage process preserved the cooked meat without refrigeration so it could then be enjoyed throughout the winter months.
The luminous green glaze of this antique pot has aged with character and developed a lovely patina. The imperfections and chips help authenticate confit pots and only add to the charm. Of all the antique confit pots, those having a green glaze are the most rare to find, making them highly collectible and amongst the most collected antiques from France...

Rare 19th Century French Faience Confit Pot or Egg Pot with Lid and White Glaze
Located in Birmingham, AL
Rare 19th century French pot de confit or confit pot, circa 1890s, from Martres-Tolosone, a small village in southwest France renowned for the pottery manufacturers called Faïenceries de Martres-Tolosane. The pottery or earthenware factories of Martres-Tolosane were established during the 18th century on the banks of the Garonne River, where clay deposits suitable for making earthenware were found. During the 18th century, there were a dozen Martraise earthenware factories listed, but the French Revolution and competition from England, especially, caused production to slow, leaving only two factories remaining by 1790.
Originally used for preserving fruits or vegetables and to store eggs, this utilitarian egg pot...
