Onnaing French Majolica Blackamoor and Lions Jardiniere Cache Pot stock #JHlionJardin
A rare and marvelous majolica jardinière made in France at Onnaing, circa 1870. This piece is modeled in high relief, decorated with fern leaves, twigs and a family of lions on each side. Each end is enhanced with a Moro (blackamoor) vase. There is a professional repair to two of the fern leaves near the rim, see the last image for a close-up. There are a couple of tiny, pinhead size, chips on one of the side vases. There are some spots of missed gaze on the faces, but these are from its production, not losses. No other damages or repairs. Measures 10" high and 18" across.
