18th Century French Hand Painted Blue and White Faience Bidet Jardiniere

About the Item

Use this colorful antique bidet as a jardiniere or planter! Crafted in France circa 1780, and double-oval or figure-eight form shape, the planter is decorated with blue floral and scroll patterns on a white or light cream background, giving it a classic, traditional look reminiscent of European ceramics, possibly French or Dutch faience. The blue decorative motifs along the rim and the body consist of intricate designs, which repeat around the vessel, creating a balanced and elegant pattern. The planter has a wide mouth and is quite large and would hold multiple plants or could be used as a decorative piece for displaying floral arrangements. The elegant ceramic jardiniere is in fair condition commensurate with age, and adorns soft colors in the Delft blue and white palette. Some cracking on the piece (see detailed images). 21.25"W x 10.25"D x 6.75"H

19th Century Hand Painted Faience Jardiniere on Pedestal from Boulogne, France
Located in Dallas, TX
This fantastic faience jardiniere and pedestal were hand-painted in Boulogne, France (formally “Boulogne-sur-Mer”) in the late 1800’s. The vibrant set features heraldic displays set among foliate and floral illustrations. Both the pedestal and the jardiniere have white backgrounds festooned with green leaves and blue, yellow, orange, and purple flowers. The opening of the jardiniere has asymmetrical edges dotted by small piercings, with flowering vines painted along the inner rim. Exquisite handles, comprised of curled leaves and C-scrolls, are affixed to the sides of the lobed body. Numerous painted motifs grace the area between the handles, including drapery, scrolls, and floral baskets hanging from an arabesque border. Equally impressive décor can be seen on the tetrapartite stand with a molded top. Each layer of the molding has a different color scheme, ranging from yellow with volute embellishments to solid green. The neck of the stand has been adorned with floral displays above multi-colored scrolls, shells, and scalloped leaves. In the center of each scalloped leaf is a distinct heraldic shield: on one side is a French style shield representing the city of Boulogne, with a swan that symbolizes perfection. On the opposite side is coat of arms topped by a closed crown, emblazoned with a five-fold cross over three roundels, which is the coat of arms for Godfrey of Bouillon, the first ruler of Jerusalem, who was born in Boulogne. Beneath the coat of arms are a pair of scrolled feet adorned with scalloped leaves and scrolls. There are two more feet to the sides that have pierced elements with floral vines beneath.
