Green Confit Pot

Green Confit Pot French antique confit pots were originally designed as a container in which to store duck in the cold earth before modern refrigeration was available. This aesthetically pleasing earthenware container has been a signature of the French gourmet kitchen and was typically glazed with a rich mustard or honey colored slip glaze. This green hue is very rare and, therefore, very hard to find. The warm patina of confit pots developed naturally over time. The chips and imperfections on the pots are a testament to their history and frequent use. Today, antique confit pots are used for decoration and treasured for their earthy beauty and rich coloration. Gorgeous green color.
