{"product_id":"small-digoin-gres-hand-thrown-clay-cooking-pot","title":"Antique French Confit Pot | Digoin Glazed Earthenware | Mid 20th Century","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe contrast between glaze and raw clay is what gives this antique French confit pot its delicate beauty. Produced at the Digoin pottery in Burgundy, with the maker’s stamp still impressed into the unglazed base, the piece likely dates from the mid 20th century. The familiar two handled silhouette is deeply tied to traditional French country kitchens, where pots à confit (preserving pots) were once part of everyday life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA rich chestnut brown glaze covers the upper half, while the lower body remains bare terracotta, a practical detail originally intended to help regulate temperature and storage conditions. Along the underside, traces of authentic fire blackening remain from years spent near heat and flame, giving the piece a feel that modern reproductions never quite achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, this antique Digoin confit jar feels equally compelling used functionally or purely decoratively. Filled with wooden utensils beside the stove or holding herbs on a windowsill... it brings warmth, texture, and the understated character of rural French kitchens into the home with remarkable ease.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52600085872983,"sku":"KWE-018","price":225.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/late-19th-century-digoin-terracotta-gres-cooking-pot-2.jpg?v=1769013688","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/small-digoin-gres-hand-thrown-clay-cooking-pot","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
