Two vintage U&C Sarreguemines Buffon model dishes

Ode to buffon – two antique u&c sarreguemines ramekins: a touch of naturalist poetry at the table… these two antique ramekins in fine earthenware, signed u&c sarreguemines, delicately bear the "buffon" model, a graphic and sensitive homage to the famous 18th-century naturalist. The designs are different but complement each other: small, familiar birds, tenderly drawn in a sepia-brown floral design on an ivory background. Each piece is a miniature painting, a silent nature scene captured with the precision and softness of 19th-century lines. The stamp of the pigeon perched on a branch is a rarity in itself, particularly sought after by collectors. Beautiful patina of age, fine cracks in the glaze, and the oval shape typical of late 19th-century services – these pieces tell a story in themselves. Ideal for a country decor, a spring table or a collection of antique earthenware with a naturalist theme.
