Step back into French country life with this striking antique Betschdorf confit pot from the Alsace region (1860–1880). A beautiful example of 19th century salt glazed stoneware with hand-painted cobalt blue decoration.
Authentic French Country Rustic Charm
Bring the honest, rustic style of 19th century France into your home with this charming Antique Betschdorf Confit Pot. Handcrafted in the Alsace region between 1860 and 1880, this piece is an authentic connection to French country life.
Traditionally used to store preserved meats, this large storage jar is made from cool grey stoneware with a softly textured salt glazed finish. It features distinctive, hand painted cobalt blue floral decoration, capturing the true aesthetic of a primitive French kitchen.
Though originally a practical vessel, its appeal today is purely decorative. Whether you style it on a farmhouse dresser, use it as a striking floor vase for dried flowers, or make it a rustic centrepiece, this pot adds authentic continental character to any space. The Pot has some fine hairline cracks and a chip to its rim, but this is to be exspected from a utilitarian item and its years of use in the kitchen.
