Les Merciers is proud to present this stunning pair of antique French Majolica (Barbotine) cache-pots, dating from the late 19th to early 20th century.
These planters feature a vibrant, highly detailed relief decoration of birds perched on blossoming branches. The color palette is exceptionally rich, combining deep mustard yellows, forest greens, and cobalt blues with delicate pink floral accents. The interior is finished with a traditional glossy turquoise glaze, a signature mark of high-quality period majolica.
With their ornate handles and footed bases, these cache-pots are perfect for adding a touch of rustic French elegance and "maximalist" charm to a curated interior. They are a true collector's set for lovers of botanical and animalier ceramics.
Condition Report:
This pair is in very good antique condition. The colors remain vivid and the glaze is remarkably shiny. As is typical for barbotine of this age, some minor professional restorations or tiny chips to the high-relief elements may be present upon very close inspection, but they do not detract from the overall beauty of the pieces.
