Stunning 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 marked with the impressed number 653 (model number), an X (size number), and the small non-serifed font SARREGUEMINES. He is in superb condition with no chips, cracks, hairlines, or repairs. There is a tiny glaze flake on the rim and gentle crazing appropriate to his age, but it is not at all disfiguring. Shipping weight: 3 lb. 7 oz. (Location: OD)
