A lovely French antique stoneware confit pot dating to the early 20th century. Traditionally used for cooking and preserving meats in the days before refrigerators, this piece has a beautifully simple, rustic form with smooth hand-molded handles and a gorgeous, chocolate brown matt glaze. Likely manufactured in Digion valley at Saint-Amand-en-Puisaye, renowned for its stoneware.
Its understated design and its timeworn patina with beautiful light staining make it a perfect addition to French country, farmhouse, or cottage-style interiors.
Color: pale brown glaze and ecru ground
Dimensions: Height 31cm - Diameter 20m / 30cm with handles
*Condition*: excellent antique condition no chips or cracks. You will expect to see age-related wear including light surface marks, minor imperfections, and natural glaze variation. No major damage unless noted.
Originally it would have been a utilitarian kitchen item, now it is ideal for display, storage, or as a decorative piece.
This is a beautifully authentic piece of French country history.
Feel free to ask any questions :) I am happy to combine shipping.
