About the Item

A pair of vintage glazed ceramic jugs in a soft white tone, distinguished by applied floral and fleur-de-lis motifs in raised relief. Each jug showcases a sculptural twisted handle and richly detailed surface that highlight the ornamental elegance characteristic of mid-century French ceramics. Created by Tessier, a renowned French ceramist celebrated for his heraldic and decorative artistry, these pieces reflect both technical mastery and imaginative design. The combination of refined glazing and bold three-dimensional embellishment gives the jugs a timeless sculptural presence, making them equally suited as functional vessels or decorative accents. Representative of Tessier’s distinctive workshop style, they capture the romantic and artisanal spirit that defined postwar French decorative arts. Excellent vintage condition with light wear consistent with age.
