Hand-thrown in southwestern France, the rich green lead glaze is characteristic of a smaller group of southern French pottery workshops and is generally less frequently encountered than the traditional yellow ochre-glazed confit jars.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally used to preserve duck, goose, and other meats beneath a layer of rendered fat, \u003cem\u003epots à confit\u003c\/em\u003e were designed with a glazed upper body for ease of cleaning and an unglazed base that helped regulate temperature when stored in cool cellars.
