The upper half carries a sunny ocher glaze that stops in an irregular line above the unglazed, stone-toned lower body, typical of utilitarian storage wares. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eDating from the late 19th to early 20th century, and made in southwest France. These pots, known as \u003cem\u003epots à confit\u003c\/em\u003e or \u003cem\u003epots à graisse\u003c\/em\u003e, belong to the regional tradition of \u003cem\u003eterre cuite vernissée\u003c\/em\u003e. Thrown on the wheel and finished with pulled handles, they were used to preserve duck or goose confit beneath a seal of fat. The unglazed lower portion was designed to be partially buried or kept in a cool pantry to stabilize temperature.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAt a lovely petite scale, this vessel tucks easily onto open kitchen shelving, a console, or a mantel where its ocher tone adds warmth. It works as a charming utensil holder, a cachepot for herbs or dried flowers, or a tabletop accent grouped with larger confit pots for collected depth; use a liner if displaying fresh greenery. Its rustic authenticity complements farmhouse kitchens, French country interiors, and modern spaces that benefit from a touch of regional color and texture. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition and wear consistent with age and use.\u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 8\" high x 8¾\" wide x 6¾\" deep \u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 20cm high x 22cm wide x 17cm deep\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chez Pluie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53961377644882,"sku":"24946","price":545.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1166\/6698\/files\/DSC08941_27563ff1-2c9d-4c38-8580-137db2844fcf.jpg?v=1783598255","url":"https:\/\/www.chezpluie.com\/products\/antique-ocher-glazed-confit-pot-from-southwest-france-8","provider":"Chez Pluie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
