Nevers – Émile Georges – Ewer and its stand in earthenware

Very beautiful decorative set in Nevers earthenware, signed Émile Georges, consisting of an elegant pitcher and its matching circular base. The pitcher features a particularly original shape, with a long slender spout and a wavy handle resembling a winged fantastic animal, in the spirit of Renaissance creations. The baluster-shaped body is adorned with a rich floral decoration hand-painted in shades of blue on a white background, with lobed reserves and stylized plant motifs. The circular base echoes this same harmony of colors, with a radiant decoration of foliage, flowers, and aquatic birds arranged around a central floral composition. The set showcases the craftsmanship of the Nevers potters and their taste for historical forms and decorations inspired by the Renaissance. Signatures: both pieces bear the handwritten signature "E. Georges" on the reverse, accompanied by a green-painted plant motif. Origin: Nevers, France. Manufacturer / decorator: Émile Georges. Period: early 20th century. Dimensions: Height of the pitcher: 32 cm Diameter of the base: 28 cm Condition: overall good condition. Some small irregularities and visible signs of use. A particularly elegant Nevers earthenware set, combining a spectacular shape with the finesse of its hand-painted decoration. A beautiful piece for collection and decoration.
