Large Round Antique Confit Pot W/ Unglazed Exterior - 11½"

This large antique confit pot exudes rustic charm with its rich patina and timeworn character. Crafted from terracotta, it features a completely unglazed exterior—an unusual detail that enhances its raw, organic appeal. The surface showcases a deep, earthy brown tone with subtle variations, bearing the marks of years of use. Its slightly bulbous form tapers towards the base, creating an elegant yet sturdy silhouette. Notably, it lacks handles, which sets this pot apart from more common regional designs. The unglazed exterior, softened by time, contrasts beautifully with the warm ochre glaze that lines the interior and delicately spills over the rim. 

This pot would make a beautiful focal point in a minimalistic, wabi-sabi-inspired interior, where its aged patina and imperfect beauty can shine. Placed on a rustic wooden table or stone countertop, it pairs effortlessly with linen textiles and dried botanicals for a refined, understated look. Alternatively, in a more layered Provençal setting, it could be grouped with other antique earthenware pieces—such as olive jars and tian bowls—on an open shelving display, celebrating the craftsmanship and traditions of southern French pottery.
