Antique 19th Century Large Italian White Glazed Confit Pot

Sourced from the Naples region of Italy, this is a stunning antique Italian confit pot with gorgeous wear and patina to it, dating from the late 19th Century. It is a wonderful extra large size.

An Italian country piece, it would have been used for preserving different foods in a countryside property. It has taken some knocks and wear in its lifetime but this has added natural timeworn charm.

These stoneware pots are perfect for modern day decorative use. They add a rustic charm to a kitchen as a utensil pot. Their large and imposing size also looks great used for display purposes anywhere in the home. And the neutral hues of this pot work well in any interior.

The condition of this confit pot is good. Although there are knocks and scratches all over, the white glaze has faired well and is in clean condition. The glaze also has natural drips and glaze imperfections, highlighting the rustic way these pots were made. 

The glaze has been chipped in a number of places, especially around top rim, although this adds natural timeworn charm. There is a hairline running down from the top rim which is approximately 6cm in length but this is tight and the whole piece is stable.
