About the Item

Charming humorous majolica pitcher made in the early 20th century by the Saint-Amand-les-Eaux manufactory. It depicts a jovial male figure dressed in a brown suit, complemented by a green bow tie and a blue hat. His expressive face, warm colors, and amusing silhouette make this a particularly decorative piece. The handle is incorporated into the back of the figure, while his hat forms the pouring spout. The underside of the base bears the words “Modèle déposé” (registered design), together with a model number. A lovely collector’s item, ideal for enthusiasts of antique majolica, anthropomorphic pitchers, and humorous decorative objects from the early 20th century. Good overall condition, with a light patina and signs of age consistent with its period. Please examine the photographs carefully.
