Vintage French Confit Jar with Yellow Ochre Glaze
There’s so much more to love about confit pots than their beautiful appearance and striking colors. Confit pots are versatile stunning statement making pieces, hand made works of art. They are timeless accents adding their history and beauty to any room in your home. I love to use them to hold flowers.
There’s so much more to love about confit pots than their beautiful appearance and striking colors. This stunning pot is 9 3/8" high with a circumference of 24.5" around the middle. The diameter of the top opening is 6.5". The diameter at the bottom is 3 3/8".
Confit comes from the French word “confire” which means “to preserve”. They have a long storied history, being used centuries ago in French kitchens to preserve goose or duck, the equivalent of French refrigeration and a testimony to the Provincial cooks of the past.
French country cooks would immerse either goose or duck meat in their fat, and slowly cook it for hours in the pot, until it was tender. After cooling, they would bury the pots in their cellars, which had an earth ground. The level glaze usually marks how deep they are meant to be buried
