Antique Two Handle Confit Pot
An antique confit pot with an elegant rotund form, two handles and a wonderfully aged patina. This charmingly rustic pot was made in the early 1900s and was originally used for preserving foods such as anchovies, sardines, figs or olives in olive oil. The handmade piece has a half glaze in a glossy creamy hue around the top edge, offset by the raw, clay base. The half glaze was a hygienic (and economical) addition rather than purely decorative, to be wiped clean easily after use. It was also a less expensive technique used rather than glazing the entire vessel. The antique pot features that magical patina that comes about from many years of use. Add some rustic farmhouse charm to your home or space with this hand thrown piece that would be ideal for fresh or dried flowers.
Found in Ostuni
the charming hilltop town of the valle d’Itria known as ‘la città bianca’ (or white city).
Dimensions: H26cm x W19cm x D18cm
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.
