Made circa 1880, this earthenware vessel was traditionally used to preserve duck or goose in fat before refrigeration, confire meaning "to preserve" in French.

The pot features its original warm yellow glaze on the upper half, beautifully distressed and crackled from generations of use. The lower portion remains unglazed, as these pots were partially buried to keep their contents cool. Dual side handles and a wide mouth add to both its form and function.

Rich in character and history, this piece showcases gorgeous, timeworn patina with layers of texture, chipped glaze, and natural, earthy tones. It makes a stunning decorative accent, perfect on shelves, countertops, or repurposed as a rustic planter. See less
