About the Item
A striking pair of late 18th-century French earthenware jars, beautifully hand-painted in traditional cobalt blue on a creamy white ground. Each jar features finely rendered pastoral scenes and floral motifs framed within paneled sides, a hallmark of provincial faience from the period. The lids are topped with sculptural finials and accented by molded lion’s head details, adding a touch of regal character and charm.
These jars exemplify the balance of elegance and rustic artistry characteristic of 18th-century French decorative ceramics. Their gently timeworn glaze and soft patina attest to centuries of use and care, while their substantial form makes them ideal for display atop a console, mantel, or dining buffet.
A refined and rare pair that brings both history and charm to any interior.
