Large and prestigious jardinière in high-fired earthenware, produced by the renowned Tours-based manufacturer Jaget et Pinon (1890-1919).

Ornamentation: Rich decoration in fine gold composed of two facing Imperial Eagles and a scattering of Napoleonic bees.

Frieze: The neck is encircled by a frieze of neoclassical scrolls and palmettes on a dark green band.
