French Small 19th Century Green Glazed Ceramic Confit Jar/ Pot
Small green glazed ceramic confit jar/pot, France circa 1850
Very small and beautiful weathered confit jar with a gorgeous green glaze. With green glaze they are extremely rare especially in this size . Confit jars were used primarily in the South of France for the preservation of meats such as duck or goose for dishes such as cassoulet or foie gras. The bottom halves were left unglazed, due to the fact that the pots were half buried in the ground to keep the contents cooler and fresh.
