Old Large Stoneware Salt Pot

Superb large vintage pot / jar in dark brown stoneware. Long considered more noble than terracotta, stoneware was particularly fashionable at the end of the 19th century. With a high seal, it is perfect for storing milk, butter, cream, cured meats, condiments, and liquids such as oil, vinegar and alcohol. Its timeless aesthetic and natural finishes offer a beautiful patina that testifies to years of use, while making each piece unique. As a decoration in a kitchen, diverted into an umbrella stand in an entrance or as a cache-pot on a terrace, it will bring retro character to your interior, while paying homage to the traditions of yesteryear. Good condition overall.
