Very Rare Perigord 19th Century Confit Pot

I have never ever seen one of these for sale, I bought it in the south of France and it originates from the Perigord region.

It has the most gorgeous glaze as you can see.

You’ll notice that it has four handles where as most confit pots just have two.

Once the contents were place inside, the cover would have been secured with string in each of the four handles.

It stands 23 cm tall.

As I said the glaze is amazing, there is one old rim chip and a tiny hairline as shown in the last two photos.

I’ve asked a couple of people that really know their french pottery and they’ve never seen one either, so its a rare item.
