Collection : Vintage/Antique Objects
Date : Late 1800s (19th Century)
Provenance : France

19th-century French confit jar from Southwest France, featuring a classic two-handled form and a golden ochre glaze that fades into natural red terracotta. Traditionally used for storing meats and olives, these jars were staples of rural French kitchens.
The surface displays beautiful glaze pooling and flowing drips, with warm ochre tones cascading into the raw clay base. These spontaneous transitions, along with natural throwing rings and subtle imperfections, reflect its handcrafted origin.
A gentle surface patina and rim chip speak to the jar’s age and utilitarian past. Whether used as a collector’s accent piece or styled on open shelving or displayed as a sculptural accent, it brings authentic rustic charm to Mediterranean, farmhouse, or country interiors.
