I am very pleased to offer this gorgeous old French majolica cache pot or jardinière. It is glazed in a very deep cobalt blue with a warm brown skirt around the bottom. There is a neo-classical motif with scrollwork and flourishes in brilliant green which are draped with garlands of flowers glazed in pale blue and pale pink. Two sides have a shell medallion motif glazed in chocolate brown and yellow, while the other two sides have a back to back dragon motif in pale pink and white. The rim is shaped as a thick rope wrapped with pink ribbon. It stands on 3 foliage shaped black glazed feet and the interior is glazed deep aqua. It measures 7 ½” in diameter and stands 7 ½” tall. There are no marks on the base whatsoever, but I am confident that it’s French, as it has the look and that’s where I found it. This dates to between 1860 and 1890. It is in superb condition with no chips, cracks, or hairlines. There is an old repair to one foot, 3 tiny old glaze flakes on the rim, and a small area of glaze rub on the rim. None of this detracts from the beauty of this piece. See the photos for details. Shipping weight: 7 lb. 5 oz. (Location: E2)
