FAQs

Confit pots are traditional utilitarian earthenware vessels crafted in rural France, specifically designed for preserving meats like duck or goose in their own fat before refrigeration.

These pieces are typically hand-thrown from local clay, featuring a characteristic lead or alkaline glaze over the upper portion, leaving the lower body unglazed to allow the porous clay to breathe.

Authentic pieces exhibit irregularities from hand-throwing, surface wear, crazing in the glaze, chips along the rim from heavy utility use, and historical kiln marks.

They function effectively as sculptural decorative objects, frequently displayed empty on sideboards, used as floor vases for dried botanicals, or styled on open kitchen shelving.

Clean gently with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or submersion in water, particularly due to the porous nature of the unglazed lower body.
