This French Confit Pot was crafted in Southwest France during the Mid 19th century. Made from hand-thrown terracotta, it features a rich ochre-yellow glaze on the upper half and an unglazed raw lower section—designed for underground food storage of confit, olives, or oils.
With its warm patina, subtle glaze drips, and naturally aged surface, this vessel embodies rustic French charm. The hand-thrown form and sculptural presence make it a versatile decor piece, whether styled as a Mediterranean vase, a sculptural display object, or a collector’s centerpiece.
An authentic example of French farmhouse pottery, it adds texture, color, and historic character to Mediterranean, rustic, or contemporary interiors.
