French Majolica Camel-Form Lidded Box
Located in Downingtown, PA
An Exotic Cargo: A French Majolica Camel-Form Lidded Box, St. Amand,
Circa 1870
This charming French majolica lidded box is a delightful example of the imaginative and naturalistic forms that characterized 19th-century majolica production. Crafted by the St. Amand pottery in circa 1870, the piece is a sculptural rendering of a seated camel, a subject that would have appealed to the era's fascination with exoticism and global trade. The camel is naturalistically colored and rests on a raised, mottled green ground, suggesting a desert landscape.
The lid of the box is formed by the camel's loaded pack, which is meticulously detailed with a variety of goods. This top section is removable, revealing a square, hollow interior in a contrasting light blue glaze—a small, hidden surprise. The impressed mark "St Ad" on the base confirms its origin from the Saint-Amand-les-Eaux pottery. This pottery, which was active from the 17th century to 1920, was renowned for its high-quality, brightly colored tin-glazed earthenware, a technique known as faience in France. St. Amand's work, often featuring rich glazes and creative forms, was widely exported and highly sought after for both tableware and decorative objects.
Majolica, with its vibrant glazes and playful designs, saw a resurgence in popularity in the mid-19th century, particularly in England and France. This camel-form box is a perfect example of how the pottery of this period moved beyond purely functional forms to create whimsical and narrative pieces. It reflects a world increasingly connected by trade and travel, where images of distant lands and their inhabitants entered the domestic sphere. This piece, from a private New York collection and with a provenance tracing to Jesse Davis Antiques...

Handsome 1920
s Napoleon Boneparte Sarreguemines France Majolica Character Mug
By Sarreguemines
Located in Red Lion, PA
A rare and exceptionally handsome 1920s Majolica character mug by Sarreguemines, France, depicting a youthful Napoleon Bonaparte in vibrant color and exquisite detail. This beautifully modeled mug captures Napoleon with piercing gray eyes, a crisp red and green military uniform, and his iconic bicorne hat, rendered in classic French Majolica glaze. The interior reveals a luminous blue-green glaze, a hallmark of Sarreguemines’ artistry during the early 20th century.
An example of this exact mug is held in the permanent collection of the Sarreguemines Museum, underscoring its importance as a collectible and its rarity on the market. The underside is clearly stamped:
“Sarreguemines France, 461.”
This piece is in excellent vintage condition, with only minor surface wear to the base and no chips, cracks, or repairs, a remarkable preservation for a nearly century-old ceramic.
Character mugs, also known as face mugs or toby jugs, became highly collectible in the 19th and early 20th centuries, prized for their artistry and humor. Sarreguemines, one of France’s most renowned faience and Majolica manufacturers, produced some of the most refined and expressive examples. A Napoleon Bonaparte character mug is especially sought after, combining historical fascination, French patriotism, and the enduring legacy of one of Europe’s most iconic figures.
