19th Century French Confit Bowl

French Confit Bowl 9-1/2"H x 16-1/2"D

A beautifully aged French terracotta confit bowl dating to the late 19th century. Once used for preserving foods such as duck or goose, the piece reflects both utility and charm. The hand-thrown terracotta base remains unglazed to allow natural moisture absorption, while the warm honey glaze interior and rim create a striking contrast. Subtle wear and patina highlight its authentic use and history. 

Each confit bowl is unique, showcasing its own variation in glaze tone, texture, and patina. Ideal as a decorative accent or functional vessel.
