Antique French Faience Jardinière | Malicorne | Pouplard Béatrix PBx Late 19th Century
Not every antique French faïence jardinière tells you exactly where it came from, but this one does. The blue PBx monogram underneath identifies the piece as Pouplard Beatrix from Malicorne sur Sarthe. That means it was produced somewhere around 1898.
Most pieces you find from this specific workshop are smaller plates or everyday wares. A double tier ajouré jardinière (openwork planter) this elaborate is a different thing entirely.
There is so much detail packed into this piece. Two rows of arched openwork (the little holes around the upper rim) wrap the body above hand painted decorative bands in fish scale, plume, and lattice motifs.
The piece is finished in deep cobalt blue on white tin glaze. Inside, a single painted blue rose sits at the center floor, a little detail that somehow makes the whole thing feel even more special. Fine craquelure runs throughout the glaze, with light wear and iron speckling from more than a century of age.
Filled with trailing geraniums, lemons, or simply left empty on a sideboard, this old Malicorne jardinière has real presence from every angle. The shape, the pierced work, and the blue decoration all pull you in closer the longer you look at it. A really beautiful piece of French faïence with all the age and character you hope to find still intact.
