Majolica Pottery Jug Bonbonnière Fives Lille Nimy Art Nouveau

A beautiful set of two majolica or barbotine earthenware pieces: a large pitcher by Gustave de Bruyn and a lidded bonbonnière by Faïencerie de Nimy. Dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, these items originate from France and Belgium and bear maker’s marks on the underside. Both pieces feature a crackle glaze. The pitcher was produced at the renowned Fives-Lille earthenware factory and designed by Gustave de Bruyn. The bonbonnière comes from Faïencerie de Nimy—Belgium’s oldest earthenware manufacturer, established in 1789 in Nimy, a suburb of Mons. Both items are in good antique condition. The pitcher is in near-pristine state, with only a tiny chip in the glaze on one of the flowers. The bonbonnière has a few small chips (four in total) on the lid and the rim. Despite this, both pieces remain highly functional and very decorative—excellent collector’s items for enthusiasts of Art Nouveau earthenware. Please refer to the photos for further details. Dimensions: 19.5 × 14.5 × 22.5 cm / 9 × 9.5 × 17 cm. Total weight: 1.898 kg.
