Offered is this rare French pot, Rillettes de Chinon Charcutier by Guignard. The French word Rillettes was first evidenced in 1845, meaning a slice of meat that had been processed in a certain way. The meat is torn in pieces and placed in fat-covered steril containers like this. When the term rillettes was used, one would understand that the process would give a rich, fatty flavor with a smooth and creamy texture. This pot is in good age appropriate condition with no cracks and has some chips on the rim as pictured. The color is a contrast to the traditional ironstone of the English advertising pots, and also has some age related coloring changes. It is a unique addition to compliment your collection. Please view the images for the best description of this pot.
Measures approx. 3 1/2” tall x 2 3/4″ at the widest point.
This is an authentic antique advertising pot sourced during my recent buying trip to England. I have been sourcing these wonderful antique pots for over 12 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.
