Rare French hand-painted faience lidded jar, made by Matet in Martres-Tolosane in the early 20th century. This distinctive piece features stylized female heads and lush foliage, re ndered a vibrant green on a glossy white background. The bulbous form and sculpted lid handle reflect the regional pottery traditions of southwestern France. Marked with a green cross on the underside, a common signature of Martres-Tolosane workshops. A charming and collectible decorative object, sourced from a brocante in Marseille. Note a small chip to the rim, as pictured, which is hidden when the lid is in place. dimensions: 5"W x 4.75"D x 7.5"H Show more
