"Niderviller, Louis XV Style, Pair Of Covered Apothecary Jars, Good Condition"
Rare pair, good condition, covered jars on pedestal, rocaille ornaments in relief outlined in purple. Decoration polychrome in low fire of a shell surrounded by foliage, in the center : a cartouche, marked for one with manganese: Sagapene: 39, and for the other: Bensoë: 22.Models close to those of the Lorrain museum.
Our Pharmacy jars have all the characteristics of the 18th century, but would in fact be a reissue, made at the factory, taking over the old molds, from the time of charcoal ovens, before 1840.
A good earthenware collector of Lorraine was kind enough to show me his 2 jars, which are from same hand.
Dimensions = H: 31cm, D: 14cm.
Condition is excellent. Obviously, these jars were almost not used: an enamel chip on the edge under the lid, a stain of oven ash, (see arrow)
No cracks, breakages or scratches
