Glazed Yellow Confit Pot

Behold, the sunshine pot! This rare, fully glazed bright yellow French confit pot is a bold departure from the traditional half-glazed versions, making it a standout collector's piece. Once essential in 19th-century kitchens for preserving duck and other delicacies, confit pots like this were buried in cool cellars to keep their contents fresh before refrigeration. The term “confit” comes from confire, meaning “to preserve,” and these pots were among the most prized tools of the French culinary world. Sylvie keeps hers center stage on a dining table or piled with fruit in the kitchen, where it can still steal the show.
