Large Terracotta Confit Pot W/ Ochre Glaze - 11½"

This generously sized vintage French confit pot is a wonderful example of traditional Provençal pottery, showcasing a rich ochre glaze that has beautifully aged over time. Once smooth and lustrous, the glaze now bears signs of wear, with charming chips and areas of loss that reveal the warm terracotta beneath. The contrast between the glazed upper portion and the raw, unglazed lower half enhances its rustic appeal, a testament to its utilitarian past. Its graceful, slightly tapered form is complemented by delicate curved handles, featuring subtle ridges that add depth and texture. A striking glaze drip runs down the side, adding an artistic touch and emphasizing its handcrafted nature. 

With its timeless French country charm, this confit pot makes a stunning decorative accent. Whether styled on a farmhouse kitchen counter, displayed among other antique earthenware, or repurposed as a vessel for dried branches or flowers, it brings warmth and authenticity to any space. The combination of its large scale, timeworn glaze, and natural texture makes it a versatile and eye-catching piece, effortlessly complementing both rustic and contemporary interiors.
