A French antique confit pot from the South West of France, dating to the early to mid 19th century.
Hand-thrown in terracotta, the pot has a classic, gently tapered form with two loop handles and a slightly flared rim. Originally fully glazed to the upper half, now gently worn with age, with areas of glaze loss revealing the surface beneath.
The lower half remains unglazed, as was traditional, allowing the pot to regulate temperature when used for preserving food. The surface shows natural wear, light pitting and areas of patina developed over many years of use.
There is a drainage hole to the base, added later in its life, making it suitable today as a planter.
A classic example of French country pottery, with a simple, sculptural form that works equally well on a shelf, a kitchen surface, or filled with greenery.

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! : )
