Antique Rustic Mustard Glaze Confit Pot
An antique confit pot with two handles that dates back to the mid 1800s and originates from Puglia. The hand thrown vessel was originally used for preserving foods such as anchovies, sardines or olives in olive oil. This type of confit pot with its wider opening did not have a lid, instead a cloth would be tied around the rim to keep insects and flies out of the precious contents. The wonderfully rustic pot features a mustard half glaze that is set against the raw clay. It has an organic surface which has eroded beautifully over time, and an authentic patina that can only be brought about from years of use and exposure. This glaze around the top half was applied for hygiene purposes to be wiped clean after use, rather than decorative. Today this rustic pot would be ideal as a vase for fresh flowers, perfect to add some country charm to any home or space, especially when pared with the matching pots as seen in the images.
Found in Lecce
the baroque jewel and capital of the Salento.
Dimensions: H33cm x W27cm x D23cm
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.
