Set of Four French Glazed Antique Confit Pots
Set of Four French Glazed Antique Confit Pots.
A lovely, undamaged collection of four French 19th century antique confit pots, ranging in size from 33cm high, 29cm, 24cm and 20cm.
These beautiful earthenware containers have, for years, been a signature of the French gourmet and Provencal kitchen and were typically glazed with a rich mustard or honey colored slip glaze. The warm patina of these confit pots wwweloped over the passage of time and with the help of Mother Nature.
If you look below the beautiful mustard or honey glaze on the confit pot, you will see that the lower part of the pottery was left unglazed. This is because, after the cooking process, the urn was typically sealed and buried in the cool ground or stored in stone-lined larders. This storage process preserved the meat without refrigeration. Throughout the winter, the confit pots would be opened and the meat contained within enjoyed!
Now lovely to be looked at as antique kitchen decorations.
