Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Confit pots were traditionally used in 18th and 19th-century France to preserve meats such as duck or pork in rendered fat. The vessels were buried in earth up to their glaze line to maintain a cool, stable storage temperature.

These vessels were hand-crafted from earthenware clay and finished with a lead glaze on the upper exterior and interior to make them non-porous. The lower base was left unglazed where the vessel sat below ground level.

Authentic pieces feature a characteristic partial glaze line around the midsection, twin side handles or lugs, and visible hand-thrown marks. They demonstrate natural age-related wear, subtle glaze crazing, and unglazed terracotta bases.

Interior designers style confit pots as standalone decorative vessels, grouped displays on kitchen surfaces, or as vases for dried botanical displays. Their warm yellow-ochre tones introduce texture and contrast alongside modern cabinetry.

Clean confit pots gently using a soft cloth dampened with warm water and mild soap, avoiding chemical cleaners. To protect the original glaze finish, keep the pots dry and store them indoors away from frost.
