Once upon a time, in old and busy French kitchens, confit pots were essential for preserving rich foods like duck confit. Derived from the French verb "confire," meaning "to preserve," these pots feature a half-glazed top and unglazed bottom, perfect for covering in fabric and burying in cool cellars or the ground. Most were finished in plain ochre or yellow, the color the local clay and lead glaze gave up most easily. This one carries a strong run of green alongside the yellow, a second copper glaze that took an extra step and an extra firing to achieve, which is why the green and yellow pots are the rarest of them all and the ones collectors reach for first. Often thought to be the king of all the antique French kitchen pots, they are only getting harder to find. Today, these charming pots are a welcomed addition to your kitchen window sills or playing the main characters on your dining, coffee, or entryway tables. Exactly as pictured.
