Vintage French Apple Majolica Pitcher

Found at market outside of Paris, this Vintage French Apple Majolica Pitcher is beautifully decorated with the colorful signature glazes that have made Saint Clément so beloved. This luminous pitcher with its glamorous yet earthy aesthetic and lush details highlights a pair of plump apples. Suspended from an exquisitely hand-rendered branch, surrounded with lush, bright foliage, the apples appear at the peak of ripeness. With a jaunty stamp on the underside indicating production by Saint Clément, along with the phrase "Peint à la main," the jug is sure to become an instant centerpiece in dreamy hues of peachy yellow, crimson, delicate greens, and rich, chocolate brown.

Known for their exquisite and whimsical creations, Saint-Clément's historic empire was founded in 1758 near Lunéville in northeastern France. Renowned for its fine earthenware and majolica, the factory was a Royal Supplier to Marie Antoinette and is one of only a handful of remaining 18th-century ceramicists producing in France today. With this gorgeous St. Clément Pitcher, it's easy to see why! Whether serving up beverages (or a colorful bouquet) in inimitable French style, its sophisticated yet romantic presence is sure to make an unforgettable impression.
