Stunning Antique French Majolica Figural Fish Caviar Server

$185 USDStunning Antique French Majolica Figural Fish Caviar Server

Pottery:Antique:Majolica:French
What a treat I have for you here! This was a very popular form of majolica caviar server in the late 1800’s in France. Fives-Lille made the definitive one, but there were tons of potteries that made their own version, even Massier! It dates to between 1870 and 1890. This particular example is not marked, but it most definitely drew on the Fives-Lille for inspiration—the glazing is nearly identical. I've seen these described as wall-pockets, but my reference books state they were intended for ...
Superb Antique French Majolica Scotsman Character Pitcher Jug

$225 USDSuperb Antique French Majolica Scotsman Character Pitcher Jug

Pottery:Antique:Majolica:French
Here is your opportunity to own this fantastic character jug known by collectors as the Scotsman. I honestly don’t understand the name—he doesn’t look at all Scottish to me. These were popular during the late 19th to early 20th century. Though this particular jug is most often referred to as Sarreguemines, it is more accurate to refer to them as Sarreguemines-type. They were produced near Sarreguemines, France to compete with the products of the renowned faiencerie of the same name. The ...

They were produced near Sarreguemines, France to compete with the products of the renowned faiencerie of the same name. The Sarreguemines character pitchers have mold numbers no higher than the 5000’s, while these particular pitchers carry the numbers in the 7890 series. This ...
Stunning Antique French Majolica Frie Onnaing Art Nouveau 3-Piece Narcisse Garniture Set

$1,750 USDStunning Antique French Majolica Frie Onnaing Art Nouveau 3-Piece Narcisse Garniture Set

Pottery:Antique:Majolica:French
What a treat this one is! This gorgeous Art Nouveau garniture, or mantel, set was made by the Frie-Onnaing faiencerie in the North of France, along the Belgian border. It dates to between 1890 and 1914. This classically Art Nouveau pattern was very popular and I see pieces of it with some frequency, however it is rather rare to find it with the honey-colored background. The deep turquoise background is much more common. In addition, I see the full set very, very rarely. Usually I find single ...

$275 USDStunning Antique French Majolica Sarreguemines Puck Character Pitcher Jug

Pottery:Antique:Majolica:French
I am very pleased to offer this superb example of one of Sarreguemines oldest character pitchers, Puck, number 653. This was one of the factory’s staple pieces and was very long-lived. It was still being produced as late as 1925. The mark used identifies this pitcher as having been produced after the World Fair of 1889 but before 1922 (according to the book Sarreguemines: Les Marques de Fabrique by the Sarreguemines Museum). He stands 7” tall and approximately 5 ½” in diameter. He is clearly ...

Exquisite Large Antique French Majolica Teal & Pink Art Nouveau Petal Jardiniere

$750 USDExquisite Large Antique French Majolica Teal & Pink Art Nouveau Petal Jardiniere

Pottery:Antique:Majolica:French
I am very proud to offer this exquisite piece of French art pottery. It likely was made in Vallauris in the south of France. At the turn of the century Vallauris was something of a Mecca for artists in general, and ceramicists in particular. This bears a great deal of resemblance to known pieces by Delphin Massier, but it is not marked nor could I find it in any Massier catalog I consulted, so I am hesitant to attribute it to him. But it is certainly safe to say it was likely inspired by the ...

Fine Antique French Majolica Creil Roly Poly Monk Figural Pitcher Jug

$225 USDFine Antique French Majolica Creil Roly Poly Monk Figural Pitcher Jug

Pottery:Antique:Majolica:French
What a treasure I have for you here in this unmarked chubby monk character pitcher. The very well-fed monk pitcher was a favorite of French manufacturers. I know for certain that Frie-Onnaing, Nimy-le-Mons, and Creil & Montereau all made them with only minute differences between them. I nearly wore my eyes out poring over each manufacturer’s versions with a jeweler’s loop to figure out which one this might be. It took some doing, but I was finally able to find it in Maryse Bottero’s book Pichets ...
