Moulded slip pitcher - late 19th century - Floral decoration in relief

Authentic slip jug dating from the very end of the 19th century, probably from a renowned French manufacturer such as Sarreguemines, Orchies or Onnaing. This charming jug is distinguished by its delicately molded floral decoration in relief, carefully hand-painted with colored enamels, testifying to the artisanal know-how of the time. The crackled enamel, a precious patina of time, underlines its history and longevity. Under its base, the hollow number 523 reveals that it is a specific model of a series, a sign of careful and serious production, even if the absence of a stamp leaves a sweet mystery surrounding its exact origin. The enameled interior in a soft pink/mauve tone, typical of utilitarian pieces of this period, adds an unexpected touch of refinement and brings a note of poetry to this everyday object. Its elegant shape with its classic spout and its worked handle make it a piece that is both decorative and functional, perfect for a guest table or a cabinet of curiosities.
