The Saint Clément pottery factory was founded in 1758 in the village of the same name, located in the Lorraine region of northeast France. Producing classic French faïence, la poterie became known for its delightful majolica pitchers exquisitely rendered in the form of animals. Beginning in the 1920s their production also consisted of tableware and household items of fine earthenware, in addition to their famed animal pitchers.

This delightful ceramic pitcher was made by the famed French faience pottery factory of St. Clément.  Founded in 1758 by Jacques Chambrette in the Lorraine region of France, St. Clément majolica was a favorite of Marie-Antoinette and gained a well-deserved worldwide reputation for beautiful wares.  It has been said that imitation is the highest form of flattery and the works of St. Clément have often been copied by other porcelain makers.
