Each piece is crafted in traditional faience with a vivid raspberry red transferware pattern applied over a warm ivory base.
Founded in 1790, Sarreguemines was a leading French faience maker known for its richly decorated tableware and architectural ceramics.
Paired with a piece from Longwy, another prestigious 19th-century ceramic house, this set embodies the golden age of French pottery.
The pitcher features a bulbous jardinière-style silhouette, while the wide open bowl offers bold proportions and a generous form — ideal for decorative use in a kitchen, bathroom, or garden room.
Both pieces are signed on the underside with period-appropriate marks: ""Longwy France"" and crowned ""Sarreguemines"".
An elegant and characterful ensemble for lovers of romantic French pottery and decorative antique ceramics.
