A superb 19th century French pot de confit or confit pot from southwest France having two handles and a beautiful light green glaze on the outside with a yellow glaze inside the pot, circa 1890s. Utilitarian earthenware vessels like this one were a staple in French kitchens, especially in the South of France where the weather was warmer. The word confit means “to preserve, " and these charming pots made it possible to cook different types of foul and preserve the meat in its own fat. French confit pots are easily recognizable because of their beautiful glazed upper sections and unglazed bottoms. The bottom half of the pot was left unglazed because it would be buried in the cool soil of the cellar or placed in a stone lined larder up to the glazing line. This storage process preserved the cooked meat without refrigeration so it could then be enjoyed throughout the winter months. The vibrant glaze of this pot has aged with character and developed a beautiful patina. These quintessentially French pots are used for decorative purposes today and add a touch of French Country charm to your home. Use them to hold utensils in the kitchen, flowers or herbs, or simply group them together for display on a shelf or counter in your kitchen. We have a large selection of antique French pottery. Contact us for more pictures or information.

This small 19th century French biot is a classic French olive jar with a wonderful pale yellow glazed neck and aged patina. The small village of Biot, located in Provence, has been producing the iconic terracotta pottery since the 16th century. Handcrafted using the ancient technique of rope thrown pottery, these charming jars were used to preserve and transport olive oil. Known as the "king of jars," biot pots make an elegant statement around a pool, in a grouping by the entrance to your home, or in a courtyard.
Because biot pots are glazed only on the neck and rim (to prevent insects from climbing into the oil inside) they are not suitable for overwintering outside in cold climates — except if emptied and covered, or brought inside. Please note that these pots were never intended as planters. You will need to drill a drainage hole or have a custom liner made if you choose to use one as a planter.

height - 21"
diameter - 16"
