Antique French confit pot w/ ocher glaze - terracotta 9½"

This medium-sized French confit pot, dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, is a wonderful example of traditional French pottery. The pot is distinguished by its warm ocher glaze on the upper portion, while the lower section is left unglazed, allowing the natural clay to develop a rich, timeworn patina over the years. The glaze exhibits a charming, weathered appearance with areas of wear and minor chipping, which only adds to the pot’s authentic rustic character.

The pot’s surface reveals layers of history, with the ocher glaze displaying subtle variations in color and texture, and the unglazed clay showing signs of long-term use, including a beautiful patina with hints of greenish-blue undertones. The two handles are functional and elegantly formed, adding to the pot's utility and aesthetic appeal.

This confit pot would make a lovely addition to any collection of French antiques or as a decorative piece in a country-style kitchen or living space. Its medium size makes it versatile for various uses, whether as a storage vessel, a planter, or simply as a statement piece that brings a touch of Provençal charm to your home.
