Antique 3-Handle Confit Pot with Lip Glaze
This antique confit pot with 3 handles from the southern Italian region of Calabria features a partial glaze around the rim. The vessel dates back to the 1800s and was originally used for preserving foods in olive oil. Its contents would have been scooped out with a ladle and covered with a linen cloth or wooden lid. For economic purposes these pots were usually glazed internally and left raw externally, with the ochre lip glaze added for hygienic purposes so it could be wiped clean after use. The charmingly rustic pot has a raw, textured surface with that magical patina that comes about authentically from a long life span and many years of use as a domestic vessel. Add some rustic farmhouse charm to your home or outdoor space with this hand thrown piece. Create impact with the matching antique vessels as seen in the images.
Found in Lecce
the baroque jewel and capital of the Salento.
Dimensions: H32cm x W27cm x D27cm
These are handmade antique ceramics that are perfectly imperfect and some have been used for generations, so please expect some cracks, and chips, and discolouration. These individual characteristics are part of the charm and unique quality of each piece. Please note, colour may vary from screen to screen.
