Antique Sugar Pot, Saint Clement, Emile Gallé, Libellule
This is an antique sugar bowl from the Saint Clement factory, part of the "Libellule" series.
The "Libellule" series from the Saint Clement factory was designed by the Art Nouveau master, Emile Gallé.
"Libellule" is French for "dragonfly."
During the Art Nouveau period, natural motifs were frequently incorporated into arts and crafts.
The charm of this piece lies in its warm design, featuring hand-painted flowers and lovely insects, as if plucked from a picture book.
This sugar bowl has a strong presence and is beautiful enough to be displayed as an ornament.
As this is an antique item, please forgive any minor scratches or dirt.
Condition: There is a protrusion inside from manufacturing, and a small chip on the lid which is not noticeable. It remains in good condition for an antique item.
Size: Approximately 12cm in diameter, 14cm in height (8.5cm without lid)
Period: Believed to have been manufactured around the end of the 19th century.
The "KG (Keller & Guérin)" mark suggests it was made after Emile Gallé left the Saint Clement factory.
