Vintage Sarreguemines Ironstone Pitcher with Grape Motif

Bring a touch of provincial charm to your curated space with this delightful small French ironstone pitcher by Sarreguemines. Crafted in a petite, bulbous form, the piece features a heavily embossed, tactile grape cluster motif that wraps beautifully around the body, catching the light with its glossy glaze. Turning the pitcher over reveals the cursive "Sarreguemines France" backstamp, reliably dating this charming piece of French faience to the early-to-mid 20th century. It wears its history beautifully, boasting an authentic, rustic character highlighted by lovely all-over crazing and light, tea-stained discoloration that gives the white glaze a wonderfully aged warmth. There is a minor chip on the right edge of the pouring spout, though it blends easily into the heavily textured rim and does not detract from the vessel's overall display value. Whether used to hold a gathering of natural pheasant feathers on an English Hunt Country mantel or tucked into a Moody Vintage kitchen vignette, this petite pitcher provides the perfect dose of time-worn European elegance.

VINTAGE & ANTIQUE
Vintage and antique items are pre-owned and aged goods. In most cases, we do not clean or polish any items that come into our shop. Once you remove an item's traces of age and patina it's not something you can reverse, so we leave those activities up to the buyer. We do not disassemble found art from their frames unless it is necessary to differentiate a print from an original piece of art. Vintage prints purchased from this shop could originate from any print media (e.g., magazines, books, photographs, art prints, etc.). We try our best to describe items accurately and disclose any and all flaws and imperfections. Please refer to pictures as a visual description. We want to make sure you are happy with your purchase so, please do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have prior to checkout.

As much as possible, we utilize recycled shipping boxes. The box you receive your item in may show signs of wear and pre-use.
