This antique French stoneware confit pot dates to the early 20th century and features a beautiful cream-beige glaze with subtle variations in tone. Originally used for preserving food, it has a generously rounded body, a slightly flared rim and two small applied handles.
A series of finely incised horizontal bands decorates the shoulders, adding texture to its simple, traditional form. The glaze varies naturally across the surface, with warmer honey-coloured areas and small firing imperfections that reflect its age and manufacture.
A substantial piece of French country pottery, perfect for displaying on a kitchen worktop, holding utensils or using as a decorative cachepot.

The vintage glass storage jars are exactly as advertised. Excellent customer service! I placed two separate orders several days apart, but they were packed and shipped together. I was quickly reimbursed for overage shipping costs before even requesting a refund! Each jar was very well packed to minimize chance of breakage in transit, and they all arrived undamaged. I will shop here again!
Fantastic! Beautiful! I have been hunting for some Alfred Corneau urns for many years, as most sellers won't send them internationally, as well as at such a reasonable exchange rate. Very happy! : )
