Antieke gekonfijte pot uit de 19e eeuw

A traditional storage container made in southern Italy in the 19th century.

These pottery pieces were used to preserve salted anchovies and olives, as well as lard and cheese, and are simple folk pottery rooted in everyday life.

The outside is unglazed to maintain breathability, while the inside is glazed to prevent moisture and decay.

The aged texture that emerges from the base material is also one of the unique charms of this piece.
