Early 20th Century 10 litre French Stoneware Confit Pot.
A pure white French stoneware confit pot with traditional fine enscribed lines and two ear type handles from the South West of France.
An extremely rare find due to its colouring, size and pristine condition.
This is an incredible piece owing to its condition and size, over 2 gallons “10 liters”, remarkably very few marks for a piece of household pottery over 100 years old.
This beautiful pot would have been manufactured in the South West of France dating from the early 1900s.
These pots were used to cook and preserve “Confit de Canard”, preserved duck and meat preparations preserved by a thick layer of fat. They were usually buried in the cellar to preserve their contents.
One of the most famous recipes being “Cassoulet” which originated in a town called Castelnaudary in the South West.
It is still a favourite winter dish of the region.
These stoneware vessels were once used daily in French country kitchens and can be found in different hues and sizes but this is the largest I have ever seen.
Crock jars with two handles, a very basic ceramic slow cooker.
These pots are sturdy and stylish and will blend into any style of home, they can be used in kitchens for cutlery storage, flowerpots or just conversation pieces.
