This beautiful 19th c. Gien faience jardiniere is a wonderful example of French antique pottery and the rich hand painted style the Gien factory is known for. The piece features vibrant Renaissance style decoration with scrolling foliage, mythical creatures, and expressive figural masks, all painted in bold colors that remain bright and striking. As a French faience planter, it works well as a centerpiece or decorative accent and adds strong visual interest to any collection of antique Gien ceramics.
The jardiniere is in very good antique condition with only a small chip on the lower edge and light interior wear that does not affect its display. It measures about 13.5” x 9” and stands roughly 4” tall. This collectible French ceramic piece shows the charm and craftsmanship that make antique jardiniere Gien items so sought after.
