{"product_id":"antique-french-green-glazed-earthenware-jar","title":"Antique French Confit Pot | Green Glaze | Southwest France 19th Century","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis antique French confit pot is petite yet has a commanding presence in a modern household. The deep copper green glaze, the worn terracotta underneath, the little losses and chips around the rim... all of it naturally calls attention to itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in the Southwest of France sometime in the late 19th century, this pot à confit (preserve pot) would have once held duck, pork, or preserved kitchen staples tucked away in a cool cellar. Somewhere along the line, one of its owners repurposed this pot to grow something and drilled a small hole in the base. As always, this type of 19th century French pottery carries its history for everyone to see.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shape is classic and looks amazing anywhere in the household. You can clearly see the iconic half glazed treatment that was never about decoration originally. It was about function. Over time though, it became one of the things that makes these old French pots so beautiful. The green glaze has worn back naturally in places to reveal the warm clay underneath, and the whole surface carries the softness that only comes with age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the sort of piece that does not need much styling. Set it beside old cutting boards, a loaf of bread, or a few dried flowers from the market and the room changes a little. The green is what keeps pulling your eye back. Quiet, grounded, and deeply French in the best possible way.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52384943898967,"sku":"CER-041","price":385.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/antique-french-green-glazed-earthenware-jar-1.jpg?v=1766164628","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/antique-french-green-glazed-earthenware-jar","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
