Offering this lovely antique French lidded Foie Gras pot, c. 1900. Foie gras (French for “fatty liver”) is a luxury food product made from the enlarged liver of a duck or goose that has been fed a rich diet (gavage) to fatten it significantly, resulting in a rich, buttery liver considered a delicacy, especially in French cuisine.
The lid is in very good condition with one small chip on the inside rim. The base is in good condition with one chip on the top outter rim and one chip on the top inner rim. It has a strong Paris trademark stamped on the bottom.
Please study all images as they are the best representation of the actual item you will receive. These are scarce and getting harder and harder to source. Crazing and other signs of burial can be expected and add to the charm of these antique pots.
Approximate measurements: 2 3/4” tall to top of handle x 2 1/2” base x 3 1/2” wide in the middle.
This is an authentic antique pot sourced during my recent buying trip to England. I have been sourcing these wonderful antique pots for over 10 years from sources who are actually digging them up in ancient rubbish sites all over England. I purchased my first antique Advertising pot when my husband and I had the wonderful opportunity to live in England in the 1980’s. Our daughter was born there and we enjoyed living in England so much we often went back to visit after returning to the US.
Interestingly, this same daughter’s husbands job moved them to London were we have enjoyed visiting our grandchildren and traveling the countryside antiquing.
On our many visits we have became friends with many of the “diggers” excavating the ancient dumpsites all over the UK and now source thousands of pots from them every year. I still love the charm they add to every room they are placed in.
Returns are not accepted on these rare authentic pieces but please contact if you have any questions.
