Antique glazed terracotta pot from the 19th century.

Ancient confit pot or grease pot in glazed terracotta, a traditional popular work from the South-West of France, dating back to the 19th century. Beautiful bulbous shape with two handles, entirely shaped on the wheel. The piece features a superb brown-red glaze with deep nuances, punctuated by a characteristic dark drip, while the interior is coated with an ochre/yellow honey glaze offering a very nice contrast. The irregularities of turning, variations in firing, and nuances of glaze testify to its handcrafted production and give each side a lot of character. Dimensions: height 28 cm – diameter of the neck 19 cm. Overall good condition considering its age, with wear, chips, and visible signs of time, particularly around the neck, consistent with its use and age. No notable chips or cracks.
