19th Century Antique Italian Glazed Terracotta Confit Pot / Sardine Crock with Double Loop Handles (#5)

An authentic, 19th-century antique ceramic confit jar originating from the workaday culinary traditions of Puglia, Italy. Traditionally used for preserving Mediterranean staples like sardines, anchovies, or olives in brine and olive oil, this piece features a robust cylindrical shape, a heavy rolled rim, and two hand-applied classic loop side handles.

The vessel is finished with a stunning, glossy creamy-beige glaze that covers the top and body, showing natural tonal variation, minor historic glaze drops, and an aged patina. This rustic earthenware crock makes a beautiful statement piece for modern farmhouse kitchens, a timeless floral vase, or an elegant addition to Mediterranean-style interior decor.

Dimensions 6.75"H x 5.25"W
