Pair of Early 20th Century Émile Tessier White Ceramic Pitchers, 13"

This elegant pair of white ceramic pitchers, crafted by Émile Tessier (1870-1950) in Malicorne, highlights the refined simplicity that Tessier is celebrated for. Each pitcher features a graceful silhouette with a subtly flared rim and simple raised decorative bands, all enhanced by a smooth, glossy white glaze and delicate ribbed detailing.

Having a matching pair makes these pieces particularly special, offering the opportunity to add elegant symmetry to a mantel or console with fresh or dried flowers. They can also be used as matching pitchers on a large dining table, bringing both functionality and charm to a dinner setting. The versatility and timeless design of these pitchers make them a striking decorative element in any home, reflecting Tessier’s mastery of form and function.
