Sicilian Preserving Pot

Italy, 19th Century

Select Size

SM

$395

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.
