Antique Marbled Confit Pot with Lid
Antique handmade ceramic anchovy or confit pot, in a beautifully unique marbled glaze that is one of a kind particularly due to its green flecks set against the ivory base. This style of surface decoration is particular to Grottaglie, and is characteristic of the cylindrical confit pots found in the area. Originally used for preserving foods such as anchovies or sardines fresh from the Mediterranean, and likely dating back to the early 1900s, it would be ideal for storage (with the lid), or a vase for fresh flowers (without the lid).
Found in Grottaglie
the small town in Puglia famous for its age old ceramic craft.
Dimensions: H30cm x W18cm x D18cm
These are handmade antique ceramics that are perfectly imperfect and some have been used for generations, so please expect some cracks, and chips, and discolouration. These individual characteristics are part of the charm and unique quality of each piece. Please note, colour may vary from screen to screen.
