Antique Italian earthenware CONFIT POTS #1

Antiques : Confit Pots

 

19th century Italian, white tin-glazed earthenware confit pots. These rustic storage pots are similar in size and beautifully simple in their design. They’re made of light colored terracotta with opaque white glazed surfaces. They come in good, acceptable condition with wear that is commensurate with the utilitarian nature of the pieces (as shown). One of the two pots has a couple of hairlines that extend down from the rim and one of which is in the glaze surface only. There is also a crack in the second pot and the interior glaze is both flaked and pitted in that jar –all of which is a reflection of their well used past and part of their appeal today.

10 ¼” high x 10 ½” wide (includes handles).
