The French stoneware confit pot form is immediately recognizable: a wide-bellied body narrowing toward a rolled rim, with two small loop handles applied at the shoulder to allow secure lifting when full.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is wheel-thrown stoneware covered in a salt or feldspathic glaze that fires to a warm grey-beige tone with faint blue-grey pooling across the upper shoulder. Incised horizontal banding runs around the upper third of the vessel, a decorative and structural detail typical of regional French pottery production. The loop handles are neatly formed and fired in place. The base is unglazed, showing raw sandy stoneware with iron-rich ochre and amber staining consistent with age and prior use. No maker's stamp or potter's mark is visible on the base. The surface shows overall age-appropriate wear including minor glaze crazing and surface patina from long use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe seller notes a height of 23cm. Estimated width at the widest point is approximately 22cm. Full dimensions: approximately 23cm tall x 22cm wide \/ 9.1\" x 8.7\". These are working estimates based on seller-provided height and photo reference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForms of this type are collected both for their utilitarian aesthetic and for use as planters, utensil holders or decorative vessels on kitchen shelving. The grey-beige glaze and classical bulbous silhouette make this a versatile piece in farmhouse, rustic or country interior schemes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e95% of my items are tariff-free to the US.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- fmf-optimised --\u003e","brand":"Unmarked","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57634256486744,"sku":"324834181567_91B6_1C79_77E2","price":103.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0895\/5776\/2392\/files\/57_f9583030-433b-4bcb-ab42-9a39e084b285.jpg?v=1783159728","url":"https:\/\/fleamarketfrance.com\/products\/french-stoneware-confit-pot-grey-antique-0407265","provider":"Fleamarketfrance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
