Pichet Emile Tessier

Superb antique white faience jug from Malicorne, made at the end of the 19th century by Émile Tessier, an emblematic figure of the ceramic tradition of Malicorne-sur-Sarthe. This model is distinguished by a relief decoration of fleurs-de-lys, a strong symbol of French decorative heritage, delicately arranged on the body. The purity of the white faience particularly highlights the relief work and gives the whole piece a sober and timeless elegance. The generous shape of the body, the slightly flared neck, and the twisted handle testify to a refined artisanal know-how, typical of Malicorne's productions from the late 19th century. In good condition, with a slight chip on the foot and minor signs of age compatible with its years, without altering the aesthetics or solidity. This jug will perfectly find its place as a decorative piece, on a table, a sideboard, or in a refined display, whether in a classic interior, a château, a chic country house, or in a more contemporary setting seeking contrast and authenticity. A piece of character, elegant and historical, emblematic of the excellence of Malicorne faience.
