Acquired from an antique dealer in Chatillon sur Seine, Burgundy, this large stoneware pot apparently originates from the Drome region of Provence.
Dating to the 1700s it is typical of casseroles used to confit duck, tripe, or slow cook stews such as daubes, often being taken to the local boulangerie to use the heat in their oven after bread making finished.
In remarkably good condition for it’s age it is now probably best used as a decorative item, although it may still be usable I can’t guarantee it…
In very good, sound, antique, condition with wear, knocks, and staining but no cracks or damage - please see photos for condition.
Consists of a large stoneware lidded casserole.
It was in dusty condition when acquired and has just been washed.
The surfaces are glazed with an attractive yellow ware to the upper half and brown to the lower half and lid.
The glaze is worn in areas - see photos.
There are some chips but no cracks found by me - see photos.
Intentionally rustic and textured with some firing imperfections giving the whole an attractive patina - see photos.
The lid is worn but sound and sits loosely and slightly crookedly on the pot.
The handles are present and in good sound condition which is unusual for casserole of this age.
The bottom has wear from use but is sound.
I have filled this with water and it appears to be watertight.
I can find no maker’s mark.
Measures approximately:
32 cm across handle to handle,
28 cm diameter at it’s widest,
11 cm tall,
weighs about 3.6 kg.
The wine bottle is to show scale and not included!
