I always enjoy learning the raison d'etre! <br /><br />As for your concern that iron would leach out and therefore make using these pots for real food today, that should not be an issue. Iron is good for us. In fact, that is the reason why many people still use iron skillets. <br /><br />It is ARSENIC, LEAD and MERCURY that are used to color some glazes or may be in the clay itself that should cause health concerns. If one purchases a faux-tique confit (probably made in China), I WOULD be concerned about heavy metal contamination. Any container of uncertain origin or composition should never be used to prepare or store food or beverages.Charlotte Des Fleurshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12569095144803584465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-673962965526409194.post-18999787167554543672012-07-26T08:36:49.130-07:002012-07-26T08:36:49.130-07:00If I had the space I would be collecting more.

Inspite of their color there is so much character to them - imperfections and all! They certainly do make a statement and are glorious as a collection! Someone is doing the rain dance in NY because we have had some significant downpours recently.

I have been looking for two more of these exact type Confit Pots and I am so pleased with you posting about them. Everywhere I look, I find the regular yellow or green, but I want the white. I found just one that I use for my utensil holder on eBay and will be very happy when I find the other two because I have places ready for them. Thanks for this great post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
