Antique French confit pot yellow - large

These wonderfully decorative jars or clay pots originate in France.

They date from the early 1800’s right through to the late 1800s. Used to store Confit Du Canard they would have originally had a lid or stopper which is no longer present

These pots are getting harder to source and these pots characteristically have the classic yellow coloured pottery and glaze.

The condition of all the pots we sell are good but commensurate with age and use so the odd chip or hairline crack is to be expected.

Due to their robust nature, they have survived the passage of time in kitchens, gardens and barns all over France. They are often found as abandoned garden decorations regionally.

Perfect empty as a sculptural item or a centre piece with dried flowers. The vessel is not waterproof and if using for fresh flowers you would need to insert a waterproof liner

Please expect, handle damage (normally during firing) the odd crack, cracks to glaze, the odd repair, the odd chip/s, damage to glaze, damage to the body of pot to the lip, base and glaze and some have holes drilled in the base. Their beauty is in their imperfect and rustic nature.
