Pair of 19th century Anduse pots in green ‘emaille’ by Poterie de la Madeleine

About the Item

The technique of the handmade pottery in Anduse (South of France) is centuries old. The story of the Vase d’Anduze began in the 16th century under the reign of Henry IV. It is thought that it was a potter created the Vase d'Anduse when he was inspired by a vase he had seen in Florence. The Italian Medici vase is what inspired the shape but what characterises an Anduse urn is the size and the decorative shields, garlands of flowers and horizontal stripes. Suitable for classic and formal gardens alike, these vases are best suited for larger plants or small trees. Many of the Manor houses, large parks, and historical sites throughout France are decorated with these beautiful artisanal urns which were used to plant small orange, lemon or olive trees. The design of this glazed pottery has endured through contemporary artisans, who still make these pots by hand the same way their ancestors did. This pair, each with garlands and family crests, originates from the late 19th century and despite their age, the pots are very well preserved, except for the bottom. Despite the damage to the bottom, the pots are very stable and can be used as such. Restoration of the bottom is possible and would cost approximately 450 €/pot.
