Ewer / Pitcher
« on: October 18, 2014, 03:36:21 pm »
I truly hope there is someone here that can help me.
I came accross this beautiful ewer today and I would love to know the age of the item but I have not been able to find a site that displays this French mark??

Any help or directions are very much appreciated !!

This will give the company info !!  The pattern name is Tulipe or tulip !!  The company discontinued all pottery production in 1979 and started making floor tiles !! My guess is that your tulip pattern is 50`s or 60`s !!

Believe yours is termed as a pitcher whereas a ewer is used as a pitcher but is generally more ornate and can double as a vase, decorative item.

I just can't verify that this is a authentic one or if this is a repro mark.  Just not like marks I have seen for sarreguemines so far.
I'm from the South - but please don't mistake my Southern Manners/Accent/Charm as a weakness!

Thank you both for the input. Using the term "pitcher" or "Pichet" in search functions may improve the results. I already found a lookalike on Pinterest with rose...

While looking for the porcelain mark I think perhaps it is possible to assume that my "Tulipe" is from the same timeframe as the "Fleury"

One could hope that the Fleury would be replaced by a different name for any different design.
The Tulipe mark does not have the additions U C or the addition FRANCE similar to the "Fleury"

This would make it antique. :)
