The jardiniere with a Persian blue color and the exterior painted à la bougie meaning with white blotches like candle wax. The foot flared from a cinched The interior just in blue.

Faience jardinieres of the present type were used to contain small shrubs or fruit trees in the formal gardens of French chateaux. The prominent handles were both decorative and functional, enabling the easy movement of the pot and its often temperature-sensitive exotic fauna to alternate garden or conservatory locations.
The Metropolitan Museum has a fragment of a handle, Gift of J. Pierpont Morgan, 1917, almost identical to this jardiniere, dating it 1670-80.
Reference:
The white splashed blue tin-glaze is characteristic of Nevers but rarely found on a piece of this scale, which are more usually decorated in blue on a pale blue ground in Chinese style. A flower pot of slightly different form, but of similar large scale, is the collections of Burghley House, Stamford.
