A treasure found at market on our most recent trip to France, this rare Vintage Majolica Elephant Pitcher is richly adorned with St. Clément's signature style glazing.  A whimsical, one-of-a-kind creation from one of France's most historic potters, the elephant's rich, nuanced hand-coloring in hues of soft blue gray and pastel pink adds a touch of timeless sophistication to this magnificent pitcher.

A symbol of wisdom and strength, the elephant is beautifully rendered in a seated position. A true collectible, this Saint Clément figural pitcher transcends the merely decorative, serving as a fully functional object with the elephant's trunk raised upward to form the pitcher spout, while the tail is cleverly incorporated into the jug's handle. Use to serve favorite beverages, fill with lovely blooms or let shine as a glorious focal point. With its timeless essence and playful personality, this charming elephant is sure to spark wonder and imagination for decades to come.

Learn More About St. Clément

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.
