{"product_id":"rustic-provencal-earthenware-kitchen-jar-traditional-pottery","title":"Antique French Confit Pot | Brown Glazed Interior | Late 19th C","description":"\u003cp\u003eSimple, useful and beautiful... this antique French confit pot is exactly the kind of country pottery that once sat beside the hearth in a working farmhouse kitchen. Known also as a pot à graisse (grease pot), it would have held rendered fat or saindoux (lard) within easy reach for everyday cooking. Likely dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, consistent with rural French terre vernissée (glazed earthenware) of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body was wheel thrown in warm russet terracotta and left unglazed on the outside, allowing the throwing rings and natural clay color to show clearly. Inside, a rich treacle brown glaze lines the interior and stops neatly at the rim where it catches the light. Two small hand applied loop handles sit high on the shoulder, giving the piece just enough detail without losing its quiet utilitarian feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the kind of pottery that instantly makes a kitchen feel more grounded. Perfect beside the stove holding sea salt or dried lavender from the market. It could also hold a succulent or other small potted plant. Old French confit pots like this carry a warmth and simplicity that modern pottery rarely seems to capture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52408446615895,"sku":"CER-051","price":155.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/rustic-provencal-earthenware-kitchen-jar-traditional-pottery-2.jpg?v=1766573321","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/rustic-provencal-earthenware-kitchen-jar-traditional-pottery","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
