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.
