The bright copper-green glaze against the pale terracotta underneath is one of those combinations that never seems to get old, especially when it has had a century to settle into itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in the Southwest of France around the turn of the 20th century, this pot à confit (preserve pot) would have been part of the everyday life of a country kitchen, storing duck, pork, or cooking fats long before refrigeration was invented. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis little green gem is really nice. It has a rounded body, short neck, rolled rim, and a fully glazed interior designed to hold liquids and preserved foods. The lower half was left unglazed intentionally, allowing the clay to breathe while helping regulate temperature in the cellar where these pots were often stored.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe green lead glaze has softened beautifully with age, showing fine crazing. The spot on the side is an inclusion where the glaze did not catch. It's a truly unique attribute to this little green confit pot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the kind of pottery that feels right almost anywhere. Toss in some fresh tulips from the farmers market, set it next to white stoneware crocks or fill it with wooden spoons... whatever it ends up doing for you it will bring joy to any room.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53685360492887,"sku":"CER-117","price":340.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/antique-french-confit-pot-green-glaze-2.jpg?v=1780340784","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/antique-french-confit-pot-green-glazed-terracotta-circa-1900","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
