French “Bleu de Nevers” Faience Smoking Service Tray, by Montagnon
By Antoine Montagnon
Located in Dallas, TX
This lovely French “service fumeur en faïence”, or earthenware smoking service, has five pieces: a tray, and four pots of various sizes. Although every smoking set is unique, we presume theses pots are a tobacco pot to store the dried leaves, an ash receptacle, a pot for holding papers to hand roll cigarettes and/or cigars and a pot for keeping matches.
Our set was produced in Nevers, France in the 19th century by Montagnon, the oldest earthenware factory in France. Originally called manufacture du Bout du monde (“End of the World factory”), the factory was founded in 1648. By 1875, the factory had fallen on hard times and was bought by Antoine Montagnon. Within the five years, it was the only faïencerie left in Nevers. Montagnon was successful for over a century but eventually ceased operations in 2015. The production date of our smoking service set is from the late 1800s.
Glazed earthenware was introduced from Italy to Nevers in the mid-16th century. The town already had existing porcelain factories and the area was flush with clay deposits that could be used in pottery. This allowed the influx of Italian potters in Nevers to begin producing Faience pieces. For the next 300 years, Nevers was the center for French Faience manufacturing.
This smoking set has been decorated with painted birds, rinceaux of flowers and ornamental motifs. The blue background color is called Persian blue, and was extensively used as a ground color on Nevers Faience...

Mid-Century French Saint Clement Barbotine Faience Oyster Plates '6' and Dish
By Saint-Clément
Located in Dallas, TX
These colorful antique plates and matching serving platter were created in France circa 1920, by the Saint Clement factory. The hand painted Majolica service features 6 round plates and one charger, all having oyster shaped and lemon wedge motifs. Every piece is marked underfoot "St Clement France". The set is in excellent condition with rich colors in the green and yellow palette.
The faience factory of Saint-Clement, 12 kms from Lunéville, was established in 1758 by Jacques Chambrette, who already owned another one in Lunéville. With this second factory he aimed at the higher segment of the market with prestigious objects. The factory received because of this a label as Royal Suplier for Marie-Antoinette's Trianon.
After Jacques died in 1758, his son Gabriel became the new owner. Between 1759 and 1763 the factory was managed by Charles Loyal, Jacques Chambrette's son-in-law, Paul Louis Cyfflé and the architect Richard Mique, who owned half the factory in 1786.
In the 18th century Saint-Clément produced domestic objects of ordinary earthenware, luxurious objects and decorative objects of fine earthenware (so-called "terre de pipe"). Between the first quarter of the 19th century and 1892 both current utensils of ordinary earthenware and fine earthenware are produced and decorative objects of grand and petit feu (Emile Gallé).
In the second half of the 19th century the factory reproduced Louis XIV objects, among them objects with very unnatural forms, where they attempted to imitate the multicolored decorations of Strasbourg faience...

Pair of 1970s French Ceramic Serving Dishes, Layered Rim Design, Green, Yellow & Blue Glaze
Description:
This charming pair of ceramic serving dishes, crafted in France in the 1970s, features a rich, earthy palette of green, yellow, soft brown, and a striking blue underside.

Key features include:
Distinctive Glazed Color Palette: The interior features a radiant yellow center, surrounded by deep green borders, while the base of each plate is finished in blue, creating a beautiful contrast and play of color.
Layered Rim Design: The edges of the plates are built in graduated levels, with sculpted separations and subtle decorative detailing, adding depth and structure to the form.
Artisan French Ceramic Work: Made in France in the 1970s, these pieces reflect a period of creative ceramic design, where color experimentation and texture took center stage.
Functional & Decorative: Ideal for use as serving dishes for salads, vegetables, or fruit, but equally suited as decorative centerpieces or wall-mounted ceramics.
Versatile Style: Their vintage modern color scheme and textured surface make them adaptable to mid-century, rustic, Mediterranean, or even eclectic interiors.
Pair Format: As a matching pair, they offer symmetry and balance to your table setting or decorative display.
This pair of 1970s French ceramic dishes is a vibrant celebration of form and color, combining utility with striking design. Whether placed on a table, a console, or mounted as wall art, they bring an elegant, tactile dimension to any space.
