Confit pot. set of five . antique confit pots. confit jars. stoneware crock pots.

A set of five, early 1900's, french confit pots. They are gorgeous accent pieces for a period kitchen / rustic farmhouse. Excellent for storing kitchen utensils or as planters for herbs. These pots have personality! Dating from the early 1900's; they are handmade and therefore have a charming, slightly uneven, surface texture and rough glaze style. Hand thrown, they have all the original clay marks, and undulations - fabulously charming and unique! The bottoms have "edge nibbles", a rough texture and a few "'grazes"' but nothing serious. They have flaws and gouges that were present at the firing and glazing stages, but no chips or cracks post firing. All still perfectly watertight, they are utterly charming, with their "dints" and "indentations". They are all glazed on the inside, a couple of them have the beginnings of "aged hairline crackle" to the glazes. They are all perfectly clean and useable, some are dis-coloured and slightly stained from years of genuine use in french provincial kitchens, which is desirable for that "aged to perfection" patina! Their earthy colours makes them the perfect accessory for french provincial interiors. Original and authentic. The largest pot weighs 900gms/ 2lbs.
