Vintage French Compote

Found at market just outside of Paris, this wonderful French blue and white compote by the venerable potters of Longwy is beautifully decorated around its top rim with a cheerful geometric pattern in blue.

Made at the renowned Faïencerie de Longwy - founded in 1798 in a former convent and a favorite of Emperor Napoleon I (who ordered tableware from Longwy for the Imperial Houses of the Legion of Honour) - this piece dates to the Art Deco era of the 1930s. A classic combination of blue decoration on white china, this delightful piece will be the perfect complement for any table or buffet.

Strictly one-of-a-kind and subject to prior sale. Circa late 1930s. In very good antique condition. Compote measures 9"D" x 4.5"H.
