The Yellow Glazed Confit Pot

An antique confit pot in glazed earthenware, dating to the late nineteenth or early twentieth century, with a deep honey-yellow glaze dipped over the upper half and a raw buff body below. Two small ear handles flank the rim, and the interior is glazed in a dark glossy brown. The unglazed lower half is mottled with mineral staining, the glaze is crazed and pooled with natural flaws, and the rim shows a few small losses.

Pots of this form are traditionally associated with south-west France and southern Europe, where they were made for storage in the farmhouse pantry. Heavy and stable, it stands well on its own or grouped with other earthenware.

Condition and patina consistent with age. 8.7 in high, 5.9 in across the rim (22 cm high, 15 cm across the rim).
