Sarreguemines - Vase (2) - Earthenware - Set of 2 plump jugs

Set of 2 plump jugs in fine faience, the JARDINIÈRE model by Utzschneider & Co. of Sarreguemines, circa 1880-1900. Dimensions: H. 14 cm x Ø 19 cm for each jug. Material: Fine faience / iron-rich earthenware, glossy glaze. Marks on the base: Printed mark JARDINIERE U and C SARREGUEMINES in a flowered crown (blue on one, pink on the other). Hollow mark G2: G = plump form, 2 = mold variant. Proof of authentic early period. Hand-painted worker initials: F on the blue jug and T on the pink jug. These are kiln marks for quality control in the firing process. Two different letters = two different workers from the same kiln, dating 1890-1900. Condition: Perfect condition. No glaze loss, no chips, no cracks, no restoration. Normal crazing. Vivid decoration. Decoration: Large peony flowers, highly sought after in shabby chic décor. The pink color is much rarer than blue.
