Small Antique French Ocher Confit Pot 6¾"

SKU: 20078

US$387
This delightful late 19th-century confit pot from southwest France is a true gem, showcasing a beautifully preserved warm ocher glaze on the upper half and unglazed terracotta below. Its petite size and charming proportions make it particularly rare and desirable, as these smaller pots are increasingly hard to find.

Confit pots were traditionally used in French households to preserve duck and goose confit—a staple in southwestern French cuisine. The glazed upper portion was designed to protect the contents, while the unglazed bottom allowed for partial burial in the cool earth, maintaining a stable temperature to ensure freshness. This pot not only serves as a functional piece of culinary history but also exemplifies the rustic elegance characteristic of French provincial pottery.
