Antique Gien Pitcher, Fleurs Variées

This is a pitcher from the "FLEURS VARIÉES" series by Gien.

As the series name, meaning "various flowers," suggests, fresh plants and flowers are depicted vividly and with exquisite detail using a warm, deep brown transfer on a soft, off-white ceramic body.

The silhouette offers a delightful, robust plumpness.
With a height kept to 14 cm, it can be easily displayed in Japanese living spaces without feeling imposing, instantly brightening the area as a centerpiece on a chest or table.

Its wide opening and stable form make it a beautiful vessel for casually arranging seasonal flowers or amply displaying dried flowers.
The brown tones, in particular, pair well with wooden furniture, autumnal dried flowers, and warm-toned interiors, fully showcasing the calm and elegant charm of antique pieces.

Please enjoy the overwhelming elegance and profound worldview unique to Gien, cherished for over 100 years, in your everyday interior.
