Mid 20th C. Kutani Style French Porcelain Lidded Ginger Jars - A Pair

By Porcelaine de Paris

Located in Morristown, NJ

20th c., a pair of Japanese Kutani style porcelain lidded jars, stamped on Porcelaine de Paris underside of foot. The mark indicates the piece was produced in the 1970's. The jars are decorated in deep orange, tangerine and gold motifs on a white background. On one side, both jars have matching decoration depicting a scroll showing a pastoral scene. On the other side, each jar has a seperate floral depiction; one including bamboo. Both are highly decorative. Founded 1773 by Jean-Baptiste Locre, Porcelaine de Paris, was one of the first manufactures to use the Chinese secret of porcelain. It immediately aimed for the luxury trade, selling to the Royal Courts of Europe. After surviving the French Revolution, Porcelaine de Paris steadily produced tableware as well as purely decorative pieces, receiving orders from all over Europe. Productivity was astonishing, creating one new model every day over 30 years! Around 1830, Jean-Marx Clauss, a German-born potter bought a building at Rue de la Pierre-Levee, where he took over Locre's activity. M. Achille Bloch...

Rare 19th Century French Provincial Oil Jar with Pinched Spout in Glazed Terraco

Located in BORGO, FR

A remarkable and highly decorative 19th century French Provincial terracotta oil jar, distinguished by its rare hand-formed pinched pouring spout and extraordinary weathered surface. Hand-thrown in Southern France, most likely in Provence, this large pottery vessel embodies the timeless beauty of vernacular craftsmanship. Originally used for storing and pouring olive oil, the jar features a generous rounded form, three substantial loop handles, and an unusually refined applied spout—an uncommon detail that makes this example particularly sought after by collectors of antique French pottery.

A Rustic European 18th century French faience fountain with spigot

Located in Leesburg, VA

Anonymous Mid-18th century; probably Moustiers or Nevers, France Faience and brass Approximate size: 12.25 (h) x 9 (w) x 6.25 (d) inches The present dispenser was either used as a water or wine cooler or possibly for washing hands. The original lid is lost-to-time, yet its provincial beauty remains attractive and sublime. The present example—baked with white enamel and decorated with a lovely hand-painted polychrome lattice and floral theme—is warm, elegant and rustic. The curving linear form of the flowers subtly recall the influence of Japan’s Kakiemon style present in France during the Rococo period yet is still indebted to the earlier influence of Italy’s prolific maiolica workshops. This fountain would serve as an elegant addition for display on an oak or distressed wood console table...
