Antique French Majolica Pitcher with Violets & Butterflies, 19th Century
Antique French Majolica Pitcher with Violets & Butterflies, 19th Century
Details
A particularly charming example of 19th-century French majolica, this pitcher is decorated with raised violets and tiny butterflies across its softly textured surface. The palette is wonderfully French: mossy green, warm golden brown, and soft pink, with a rosy pink glazed interior that is an especially lovely surprise when you look inside.
The sculptural handle and molded floral decoration give this pitcher a wonderful presence, while the gentle craquelure and natural variations in the glaze reveal its age. I love the combination of the romantic flowers and little butterflies with the earthy, slightly rustic palette—it feels perfectly at home in a French country kitchen, filled with flowers on a table, or simply displayed on a shelf where its unusual details can be appreciated. A beautiful piece of antique French majolica if you love pottery with color, texture, and a little bit of whimsy.
- Measures 6-1/2" x 5" x 6-5/8"h.
