This antique terracotta confit pot from Southwest France, likely late 19th to early 20th century, is of generous scale and displays the traditional ovoid body tapering to a small foot, with twin loop handles at the shoulder and a broad everted rim. The upper section and interior are finished with a warm ocher glaze showing pleasing runs and tonal variation, while the lower body remains unglazed. The surface bears nicks and scattered glaze losses, with the lower portion showing a rusitc patina.
Made for preserving meats in fat, these storage jars were a staple of rural French kitchens. The glaze on the upper half resisted grease and facilitated cleaning, while the unglazed lower body could be set into cool earth or a stone larder to stabilize temperature. The mellow yellow tone, achieved with iron-rich lead glaze on low-fired earthenware, is characteristic of southern pottery traditions of the period, and the pulled handles and practical proportions reflect an emphasis on durability and daily use.
This pot makes a grounded accent in a kitchen or dining room, standing on a console or counter to hold wooden utensils or dried herbs. It can anchor a fireplace hearth or entry table with a simple arrangement of olive or eucalyptus branches, or sit on open shelving as a sculptural counterpoint to glass and metal. Use as a cachepot with a liner, or group with other French earthenware for an understated, rustic vignette.
Condition and patina consistent with age.
Approx. overall 11½" high x 11½" wide incl. handles x 9"
Approx. overall 29cm high x 29cm wide incl. handles x 23cm

This book (and the other two in this series) are constantly checked out at my elementary school library! I love using these books to teach about opinion writing. The kids love the humor and illustrations! They’re great read-alouds too!

Family favorite series
Format: Hardcover
My daughter had a friend having a unicorn and dragon themed birthday party, so of course we picked up this one and Unicorns Are The Worst for the birthday girl. This series has been a big favorite in our household for over a year. My five year old loves them. The tone and humor are perfect for her age. We love seeing what complaints Gilbert has about each new mythical friend.
