Sicilian Preserving Pot

Italy, 19th Century

$295+

Antique Sylvie Favorite Ceramic

A true Sicilian workhorse in clay form.These 19th-century preserving pots once held sardines and anchovies along the Mediterranean coast, their glazed interiors designed to keep brine and oil cool in the heat. Found in two variations-one tall, one stout-they now lend their coastal practicality to modern kitchens or garden shelves. Sylvie likes them for wooden spoons, dried herbs, or a few too many paintbrushes.

Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.

Notes from Sylvie:

Dear collector, this piece may have minor glaze chips, drips, and cracks, each a charming mark of its age. We have several of these pots, so there will be slight variation in color, tone and wear.
