An antique French Alsace salt-glazed stoneware pot.
- These pots are characteristic of the Alsace region, known for its pottery traditions, particularly Betschdorf, which became a center for salt-glazed stoneware by the 1800s.
- They are typically made of thick stoneware and feature a distinctive gray glaze with hand-painted blue motifs, often in a floral or abstract pattern.
- Originally, these types of pots were used for preserving foods in the French countryside, and they are now popular as decorative pieces or for storing utensils.
- The salt-glaze finish is created by throwing salt into the kiln during firing, resulting in a unique textured effect and a clear, glassy surface.
- Appx. measurements: 5 1/4” diameter x 4 1/4” tall
- *all items are in vintage and/or antique condition and may show signs of age-related wear. Any major flaws will be noted in the description.
