1 in stock
A wonderful example of authentic French country pottery, this antique stoneware confit bowl was made by the historic Corneau pottery in Myennes, Burgundy, France, during the early 1900s.
Richly glazed in a warm chestnut brown, this charming vessel features beautifully detailed horizontal bands of impressed beading, a substantial rolled rim, and unusual sculptural animal-head handles. The contrasting cream-glazed interior adds to its rustic appeal.
The underside bears the impressed oval CORNEAU MYENNES maker’s mark, identifying its French origin.
The Corneau pottery was located in Myennes, near the celebrated stoneware-producing region of Saint-Amand-en-Puisaye in Burgundy.
Traditionally, French confit pots and small terrines were used in country kitchens for preparing and preserving meats, pâtés, rillettes, and rendered fat. The decorative animal-head handles suggest an association with game and traditional French culinary customs.
Today, this beautiful piece makes a wonderful addition to a collection of antique French pottery, displayed in a country kitchen, on open shelving, or as part of a French or British farmhouse interior.
This pot measures approximately 6” diameter handle to handle x 3 1/4″ tall.
This pot is in great condition! Please view the images as your best description of these pots.
